Nearly one year to the day after his last DUI arrest, Tracy Morgan has been picked up again for allegedly driving while drunk.
In what appears to be a good impression of either Snoop Dogg or Mel Gibson, the 38-year-old former Saturday Night Live regular was arrested again Tuesday in New York on drunken driving charges, the Manhattan district attorney's office said. He did not, to his credit, spout off about Jews ruining the world.
Morgan was stopped around 4:30 a.m. while driving a Cadillac Escalade on the Henry Hudson Parkway near West 158th Street.
Police reported that Morgan smelled of alcohol and that he later failed a breathalyzer test at the 28th Precinct station.
Morgan's rep said: "we have no formal statement at this time."
Good one! Morgan is to be arraigned later in Manhattan's State Supreme Court on charges of driving while intoxicated and driving while impaired.
Last December 2, Morgan was arrested on impaired driving charges after police stopped him for speeding. Authorities said his BAC level was 0.13 percent, over the legal limit of 0.08.
On February 17, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of drunken driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, fined $390 and ordered to attend an alcohol education program, authorities said.
Eh, we'd still rather get in a car with Morgan than Lindsay Lohan.
Morgan was a SNL cast member from 1996-2003. He left the show to star in the now-cancelled Tracy Morgan Show, and now stars in 30 Rock alongside former SNL compatriot Tina Fey and Saddam Hussein-like tyrant Alec Baldwin.

I hope that Tracy morgan does not get off so easy on this charge. To be honest with you all, I have had 2 duis and had to spend 32 days in prison, and now need to be driven around for the next two years. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I am sick of celebrities getting off so easy on everything. His show sucks, and he needs to get his punishment. When he was on snl the show sucked, his show sucked, and thirty rock sucks....I think we all can deal with his doing time. That the fair punishment. What makes him better than the rest of society=he is not contributing anything worth while!!!

Hopefully he will also be charged with being a crap actor, not funny, never was, never will be. 30 Rock and Tina Fey suck. But, being his claim to fame, the angry black man, he'll get off.
Thanks Lorne, another POS. Go back home to Canada, scumbag.
