ST. LUCIE COUNTY (GaeaTimes.com)- Former teen heartthrob David Cassidy was arrested by Florida police officials on Wednesday night for driving under the influence of alcohol. The incident took place in a highway near Fort Pierce after the Mercedes that the actor was driving was seen weaving in and out of traffic due to which it was pulled over by the cops. The 60-year-old veteran actor/singer was then arrested and was detained at the South Florida jail for few hours. On Thursday morning, David Cassidy was bonded out of the jail.

According to the report that was filed by Florida Highway Patrol trooper, after being nabbed by the authorities David Cassidy was apologetic and nervous although he seemed high on booze as he could not even stand steady on his feet. The star of the 1970s TV series “The Partridge Family” also told the cops that he had a glass of wine during lunch as well as a hydrocodone pill. Without much hesitation, the 60-year-old actor/singer agreed to undergo a series of sobriety tests but unfortunately he failed all of them, the report further stated. A half empty bottle of whiskey was also recovered from the back seat of David Cassidy’s Mercedes car and he was soon arrested for driving in an inebriated condition.

Following the incident, the charges that have been levied against David Cassidy include driving under the influence of alcohol, having an open container of alcohol in his car as well as failing to maintain a single lane. In the meanwhile, a spokesperson of the “The Partridge Family” star has revealed to the media that on the advise of his lawyer, David Cassidy has decided to not make any comment regarding his arrest.
