Burn Notice Star Nabbed for DUI

Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan has just joined the long list of celebrity DUI’s after he was caught under the influence and behind the wheel in Miami Beach last weekend.

The 41-year-old was arrested on suspicion of DUI last Sunday, July 12th, according to TMZ.com, and after snapping a photo or two for the cop shop, was later released.

The arresting officer told the celebrity gossip site that Donovan was cooperative, but didn’t think he should be arrested because he was only “borderline” drunk.

“I really think I’m only borderline and not too drunk,” the actor said, after swerving and screeching his tyres to avoid hitting a stationary police car.

When asked what he’d been doing, Donovan allegedly told the officer: “Sorry, I didn’t see the red light or your stopped car.”

The cop said he was alerted to the actor’s excessive drinking by “a strong odour of alcohol,” and when he asked Donovan if he’d had anything to drink, the star replied: “I had three drinks at the Fontainebleau.”

He was then taken into custody and officially charged with one count of DUI – something that could see the actor serve up to 6 months in prison.

While Donovan’s rep had no comment on the charge, the actor himself said that his only mistake he’d made was that he “[drank] Benadryl with 3 glasses of wine.”
