Mickey Rourke's DUI dropped because of faulty breath test machine?
DUI lawyer news
Mickey Rourke has been told that the machine that was used to breathalyse him last month was faulty.
The Sin City star was arrested when police spotted him swerving along the road on his Vespa scooter.
A breathalyser test revealed that he was just over the legal alcohol limit, but a later test with a different machine showed that Rourke was just under the limit.
Now Miami Beach police officials have confirmed that the results of the test were incorrect because the machine they had used was broken.
The DUI charges against Rourke have yet to be dropped by the District Attorney.
