Forget "Jessie's Girl," Rick Springfield was probably wishing he had a good bail bondsman last night.
Fulfilling this week's quota of old stars achieving new infamy, E! News confirms that the soap star-turned-pop star was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI last night.
The '80s singer--who earlier in the day was threatening to flash the crowd at the L.A. Times' Festival of Books and who on Friday appeared in a live reveal for the Style network's How Do I Look? --was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway around 8 p.m. for an unknown traffic violation. Shortly into the stop, the officer smelled alcohol on the breath of the 61-year-old.
Field sobriety tests were conducted and failed, and Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told E! News that Springfield blew a 0.10 percent on the breathalyzer (a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 is California's legal limit). He was released after sobering up, around 2:10 a.m., on $5,000 bond.
