A lead actor on the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" television series has been charged with driving under the influence in the U.S.

Avery Brooks is set to be arraigned in state court in Connecticut next week in connection with his arrest last weekend. He played Capt. Benjamin Sisko on the 1990s "Star Trek" series and had the role of Hawk on "Spenser: For Hire" in the 1980s.

Local police say they pulled over the 63-year-old Sunday after receiving a complaint about his driving.

It's not clear if Avery has a lawyer. He's due in court Feb. 9.
