June 19, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The “American Pie” famed actor Chris Klein was arrested by the police on early Wednesday under suspicion of drunk driving. The California Highway Patrol officers found Chris Klein crossing lanes on a South California highway with not much control on his car’s movement.
As per the statement made by the California highway Patrol, he was stopped by the police while he was driving through the Sherman Oaks on U.S. 101 at around 3 a.m. on early Wednesday. A spokesperson has said that Chris Klein was weaving between the No.2, No. 3, and the No. 4 lane of the highway.
Reports claim that though there was no other person in the car, he was accompanied by his pet dog. The dog was taken home by one of the friends of the actor who came to the spot later on. The actor was asked to come out of his car and take the needed sobriety test. The Breathalyzer test found that the level of alcohol in the blood of the actor was almost thrice higher than the legal limit. The test results read 0.20 while the legal limit is 0.08. It is only after Chris Klein failed the breath analyzer test that he was arrested for driving under influence.
However, Chris Klein was released from the jail after he acknowledged his mistake according to California Highway Patrol Officer Patrick Kimball. Chris Klein was seen leaving the jail premise on Wednesday afternoon along with his lawyer.
Although he has been released by the police, an animal rights group has reportedly taken offense of the actor’s act of driving under influence with his pet in the car.
