Mickey Rourke was arrested for driving his Vespa drunk after leaving a Miami nightclub early this morning.
The actor claimed he wasn’t drinking but then failed to pass a field sobriety test. Fred Montana, a photographer for the Palm Beach Post, was hoping to catch pictures of Jennifer Lopez after her concert when he bumped into Mickey Rourke entering the club:
"They came back out two hours later and crossed Washington Avenue to go to his scooter," Montana said.
"They both got on it, and he did a U-turn to go north. He was pulled over within a block.
"The cop says to him: 'You swerved right in front of me.' And Mickey answered: 'No, no, dude, I'm all right.'"
Actually, according to the arrest report, Rourke also let out a four-letter bomb when he was stopped.
Cops say the actor had a flushed face and bloodshot and watery eyes and that his speech was slurred.
