According to reports, David Cassidy was pulled over by police on the the Florida Turnpike after he was spotted swerving all over the road. The former teen heartthrob told police that he’d had a glass of wine around lunch time and took a Hydrocodone painkiller several hours before the incident.

A half empty bottle of bourbon also was found in the back seat of Cassidy's vehicle. He blew a 0.139 and 0.141 on a breath test, significantly higher than the .08 legal limit.
