Bill Murray and the Runaway Golf CartBill Murray was stopped by police in Stockholm, Sweden for driving a golf cart and smelling like alcohol. Murray refused to take a breathalyzer test but a blood test was taken.Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law. Police officers spotted the "Caddyshack" star early Monday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police. "He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "So we applied the old method _ a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in." Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.So, let's get this straight. Bill Murray gets loaded then careens through the streets of Stockhom in a golf cart, in some kind of homage to his Caddyshack days? Makes perfect sense to us. Many's the time we've gone on a bender, using a slow-moving golf cart as our preferred means of transpo. What could be more natural? Posted on August 22, 2007 blog comments powered by Disqus |
