Filmmaker Gus Van Sant, whose credits include ''Finding Forrester'' and ''Good Will Hunting," has been arrested on a drunken driving charge, police said.
December 23, 2006 (Press Release) --
Sgt. Brian Schmautz, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman, said Van Sant, 54, was arrested early Thursday. A breath test showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent, Schmautz said. That's more than twice the state limit, 0.08 percent.
An officer saw that the headlights on Van Sant's vehicle weren't on, Schmautz said. Van Sant, who lives in Portland, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, smelled of alcohol and failed the sobriety tests, Schmautz said.
Calls to his film company seeking comment were not immediately returned.
