Los Angeles Police Arrest American Pie Star Chris Klein For DUI
The man best known for his character of Oz in the "American Pie" comedies will soon be giving a call to his Los Angeles DUI attorney, as the man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of drunken driving. The Los Angeles Times reports that the actor Chris Klein was weaving across three lanes of traffic on the westbound 101 Freeway, which caught the attention of law enforcers and led to the pulling the actor over.
Chris Klein's breath test indicated that his blood-alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit and that this is the actor's second DUI arrest in the last six years, TMZ states. So perhaps the man already knows a DUI attorney in Los Angeles. Now that he's in danger of becoming a two-time DUI offender, it looks as though he'll be needing the best lawyer possible.
In California, a second DUI conviction means that the offender must serve a minimum of 96 hours in jail and could spend up to a full year in jail, depending on the judge's sentence. A second California DUI within a 10-year period can also mean a driver's license suspension for up to two years.
To make the potential punishment even worse for Chris Klein, a new law in Los Angeles County requires DUI offenders to install an ignition interlock in their vehicles if they're convicted of driving under the influence after July 1, 2010. The actor has less than two weeks to squeak by under the radar on that rule.
