Sportscaster Al Michaels was arrested for driving under the influence after he was stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Santa Monica.

Michaels, a longtime announcer on NBC's "Sunday Night Football," was arrested about 10 p.m. Friday, booked into jail and released on his own recognizance early Saturday, according to CNN.

"He was evaluated for suspicion of DUI, brought to the station for a Breathalyzer test, and it came out .08, which was at the legal limit, so he was released on a citation at about 3 or 4 in the morning,'' Sgt. William Heric told City News Service. "He was cooperative and polite the whole time.''

Depends on the state. But here in NC the laws are some of the toughest. They'll throw your ass under the jail. And a .08 will get you convicted 99% of the time. Think the law changed here in Jan. you do time for the first offense.

Below .08 is "ok." .08 and above, you are screwed.

It said he was stopped at 10pm. Must have had some obvious sign of impairment and then failed field sobriety test. Was then taken back to station where he blew the .08. (Maybe trying to give him time to drop?) Was processed and released about 3-4 am.
