Adrian Pasdar, star of the popular TV show, Heroes, was arrested for suspicion of a Los Angeles DUI early Wednesday morning. The actor was arrested around 3:00 a.m. on January 27 after he was pulled over for speeding on the 405 freeway.
According to police reports, Pasdar was driving at 94 mph and veering across lanes before being pulled over. Police allegedly smelled alcohol on his breath and proceeded to administer a field sobriety test. Pasdar, 44, refused to take a breath test and was arrested and taken to county jail, according to reports.
Pasdar, who is married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines and plays Nathan Petrelli on Heroes, made his $15,000 bail the next morning at about 8:15 a.m. His wife did not pick him up from jail and was seen by paparazzi looking distraught while on a hike about an hour after her husband was released from prison.
If convicted, Pasdar could face a number of consequences that may affect his life in several ways. Some of the common consequences of a Los Angeles DUI conviction can include; probation, community service, alcohol school, fines and even jail time.
