Mickey Rourke gets DUI Vespa charge dismissed
San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyer news
Actor Mickey Rourke is speaking out about his latest brush with the law during which he was charged with DUI - driving under the influence on his pastel-colored Vespa scooter, according to DUI criminal defense lawyers.
The Hollywood actor admitted to breaking the DUI law, but — in describing the Miami Beach incident — denied he was drunk that November morning: "I did a left U-turn at a red light, but I wasn't drunk," he said.
Rourke has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of reckless driving and will take an online driving course in addition to paying a fine, according to DUI criminal defense attorneys.
The actor had harsh words for the DUI arresting officer, indicating the man was overweight and not fit.
