Mickey Rourke Busted For DUI on Vespa, in Miami

Mickey Rourke, star of “Barfly” and “Rumble Fish,” was arrested last Thursday for allegedly driving under the influence after being stopped while riding a Vespa motor scooter in Miami Beach, Florida. Rourke, a one-time professional boxer who attended high school not far from the scene of his arrest, was weaving from lane to lane on the green 2007 scooter and failed a sobriety test administered on the street, the arrest report said. He was stopped in the city’s South Beach entertainment district around 4 a.m. He was booked into the Miami-Dade Pre-trial Detention Center around 9:30 AM and was held on $1,000 bond.

According to the police report, the cop says to him: ‘You swerved right in front of me.’ And Mickey answered: ‘No, no, dude, I’m all right.’, Rourke then asked the cop, “What the f*** did I do?!” Cops say the actor’s “face” was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot and watery and his speech was slurred. “I’m not drunk, I didn’t even drink that much,” Rourke said, according to the report.

Old Mick was begging for trouble, riding around Miami’s South Beach on a Vespa drunk at 4AM, with red eyes and a chick on the back. I have always found calling the cop DUDE, isn’t the best way to get out of a DUI. Also asking him ‘what the F*ck did I do?’ usually doesn’t help either.
It is a great mug shot though, right up there with the classic Nick Nolte.
…Drunk DEEP!
