BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was arrested for investigation of drug possession and driving while intoxicated, police said Saturday.
Stone, 58, was arrested Friday night at a police checkpoint on Sunset Boulevard after showing signs of alcohol intoxication, police Sgt. John Edmundson said.
A search of his Mercedes turned up drugs, Edmundson said. He did not specify what kind.
Stone was released Saturday morning after posting $15,000 bail.
A message left Saturday with Stone's agent David Styne was not immediately returned.
In 1999, the filmmaker pleaded guilty to drug possession and no contest to driving under the influence and was ordered into a rehabilitation program.
Stone's films include the recent "Alexander," "JFK" (1991) and "Natural Born Killers" (1994). He won Academy Awards for directing in 1989 for "Born on the Fourth of July" and in 1986 for "Platoon," which also won the Oscar for best picture. He lives in Los Angeles.

I always thought he was waaaaaay overrated as a director. His "The Doors" was a awful movie--it looked like he was on drugs when he wrote the screenplay.
He did an interview with a female journalist a few years ago, and basically sexually harassed her during the interview. Rush read the transcript on his show, and it was shocking. Stone said to the woman: "Did you get my erection on camera?" and other things like that. Unbelievable.

It is fitting. What a nice gesture to the vets.
His next movie will be "Arrested on the Memorial Day Weekend".

According to the story, yes, he was stoned. But we shouldn't be too hard on him; he probably just attended a screening of his own movies and needed it...

Police checkpoints stink. Nevertheless, root for justice and conservatism.
Both were served today.

Are you sure it was him or a double. If it was him did the cops plant the stash in the back seat and to the right?
Not a big shock that he uses drugs.
