You may not have heard of Mickey Rourke if you are under the age of 35, but who doesn't love celebrity mug shots ... and when a guy gets busted for DUI while riding a vespa, well, that kind of humor can bridge a generation gap.
The Palm Beach Post reports that earlier this week, a guy from a celebrity photo agency was trolling South Beach looking for Jennifer Lopez, who was in town for a concert, when he bumped into Rourke and some woman around 2:00 a.m.
"They came back out [of a club] two hours later and then crossed Washington Avenue to go to his scooter," the celebrity picture-taker 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.'"Â
Mickey Rourke's response: "No, no, dude... I'm all right."
According to the police report, Mickey Rourke asked the cop, "What the f**k did I do?!" Cops say the alleged actor's face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot and watery and his speech was slurred. "I'm not drunk, I didn't even drink that much," Rourke said, according to the report. Sure thing.
He was booked into the Miami-Dade Pre-trial Detention Center around 9:30 a.m. and was held on $1,000 bond. Man, you think you've seen it all.
What's next? Someone getting arrested for DUI while driving a golf cart? Oh, wait... sorry, Bill Murray. That was a low blow. Funny, though, right?
Well, not as funny as this alternate meaning of riding the vespa. Maybe Mickey Rourke should give this a try instead the next time he's drunk.

The real culprits behind the drunk driving is the alcohol drink governing bosses who license and market such extremely dangerous high alcohol drinks for the public consumption in the name of standard alcohol drink, which cause almost all those peoples drunk driving especially those terrible accidents!
