Burn Notice Actor Charged with DUI

Donovan is a dumb ass. :klingon:

Probably let success go to his head. :rolleyes:

And no I'm not hypocritical. I've never driven after a drink. Ever.
 
"When you're being pulled over for a DUI and you're guilty, you need to act quickly between the time the flashing lights come on and the police officer asks you for your license. Raw onions or papayas are one way to mask a breathalyzer test. But if you don't have any on you, faking an illness can explain away your inability to pass the simple motor skills test. Faking a serious illness and claiming that you were driving yourself to the emergency room buys you some time, especially if you play the foreigner tourist card."
Perfect.

So what does that mean? That you stopped driving after your last drink? Because if you had a drink and then drove a month later, that would still after the drink.

Wow, well done. I can hear his voice saying this! :guffaw:

Same here, I totally hear it in his voice.

Well done Aragorn :techman:

:devil: Hate to might light of a serious situation but this was just perfect.
 
I just realized that Bruce Campbell's character Sam is a borderline alcoholic. We often see him with a alcoholic drink of some sort. Of course Bruce is also more responsible about really drinking, I'd like to think.

Often? I think he has a beer in his hand in 70% of his scenes on the show. If you ignore the action bits where he couldn't practically have a beer, that number goes way up. He's not a heavy drinker, though. I don't recall ever seeing Sam drunk, but I haven't seen a lot of the first two seasons.
 
True, when not holding a weapon, he's holding something to keep a buzz going. We never see him drunk or drink in excess, or even hung over but we do always see him with a drink.
 
I don't like the news, but I'm not ready to entirely condemn him either. Whether I'll have any respect for him will depend on whether this happens again.
