Hollywood star BILL MURRAY has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in a
golf cart in the Swedish capital Stockholm.
The actor was stopped by police in the early hours of Sunday (19Aug07) and
alcohol was smelled on his breath, according Stockholm police detective
inspector Christer Holmlund.
Holmlund says, "He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing
American legislation. So we applied the old method - a blood test. It will take
14 days before the results are in."
Murray - who is in the city attending a golf tournament - signed a document
admitting driving under the influence and permitted a police officer to enter a
guilty plea on his behalf if the case goes to court.
The 56-year-old will only be charged if his blood alcohol level is higher
than the legal limit. If it is excessively high he could face a prison sentence
- but a fine is more likely.
Holmlund adds, "There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really
tipsy."
The officer claims mystery surrounds the golf cart and who owns it - although
Murray isn't facing theft charges: "It was a golf cart. How it ended up in this
predicament I don't know.
"I have done this since 1968 and I've never experienced anything like this."
