VINCE VAUGHN WAS arrested yesterday on suspicion of drunken driving after being stopped at a sobriety checkpoint in a Southern California beach town, police said.
Vaughn, 48, was detained early in the morning in Manhattan Beach after failing a field sobriety test that was captured with officers’ body cameras, Sergeant Tim Zins said.
Vaughn is best known for roles in comedies like Dodgeball and Wedding Crashers, but has landed more dramatic parts in recent years such as playing a drill sergeant in the Oscar-winning Hacksaw Ridge.
A passenger in Vaughn’s car was arrested for public intoxication. Vaughn’s vehicle was impounded.
Both men were also cited for delaying an investigation. Police previously described the allegation as “resisting arrest” which falls under the same section of the penal code, Zins said.
Vaughn chose to submit a blood sample rather than a Breathalyzer to test his blood-alcohol level, Zins said. The results were not immediately known.
Vaughn, who lives in Manhattan Beach, was released later in the morning and given a citation to appear in court. No information was given on when he is due in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Torrance.
Zins said he couldn’t comment more on the arrest until prosecutors review the case and decide whether to file charges.
Alan Nierob, a spokesman for Vaughn, said he had no comment.

Where did it come from? What did it want???
Actually, I think breaking news got in first.
Some serious proof reading issues here…
Snarls? Really?
Sorry my comment did not violate your suspect comments policy. For the record I pointed to how this can make global news but the stories of planned parenthood harvesting organs from unborn babies gets totally buried and I lamented the state of modern journalism. The journals censorship of my comment only backs up my criticism. Shame on the censors at thejournal.ie.
They’re not harvesting organs and you’re well aware of this. They’re using stem cells from aborted foetuses which has massive potential in the medical field for transplants and grafts etc. Of course it’s all done with the permission of the woman having the abortion, and means that the stem cells can do massive amounts of good for those in need of it rather than simply disposing of the foetus as is done at the moment. Don’t let any of these facts get in the way of your holier than thou ramblings though, you clearly need something else to sink your teeth into now that the same-sex marriage referendum has passed.
This is making me want to watch the minions movie. Haven’t seen it, any body recommend it?
It’s idiotic and stupid…but I loved it!
That one is Norbet, he’s an idiot
The best was RTE’s 9 news last night quoting the local councillor when relating to the h+s ”as despicable”.
have your say
