David Cassidy, a former teen idol and star of the 1970s U.S. television series "The Partridge Family," was arrested in California on Friday night on suspicion of drunken driving — his third such arrest since 2010.
Cassidy, 63, was stopped on a road near Los Angeles International Airport after making a right turn on a red light in violation of a posted sign, the California Highway Patrol said in a news release.
After smelling alcohol coming from Cassidy's vehicle, an officer gave him a field sobriety test that showed a blood alcohol content of 0.19 percent, the patrol said. That level is more than twice the 0.08 legal limit for driving in California.
Cassidy was alone in the car, the patrol said.
Cassidy was charged in August with drunken driving in Schodack, N.Y., after initially being stopped for not dimming his headlights, authorities said at the time. He was arrested and convicted for drunken driving in Florida in 2010.
I liked the show when I was 8 years old but unfortunately David Cassidy grew up into an ugly liberal with a drinking problem.
He’s going to wind up dying like his dad.
Didn’t he die in a fire? What is the story? He was one creepy looking dude.
What a mess, he was a hottie when I was a teen.
Maybe he should hire a driver.
Very sad.
That was his daddy, Jack Cassidy.
Drunk, lit cigarette caused the fire.
“Awareness is the key but it is action that opens the door.”
(Maybe he was singing the song as he was driving drunk!)
Hello, world, here the song that we’re singin’
C’mon get happy!
A whole lot of lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’
We’ll make you happy!
We had a dream, we’d go travelin’ together,
We’d spread a little lovin’ then we’d keep movin’ on.
Somethin’ always happens whenever we’re together
We get a happy feelin’ when we’re singing a song.
Trav’lin’ along there’s a song that we’re singin’
C’mon get happy!
A Whole lot of lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’
We’ll make you happy!
We’ll make you happy!
We’ll make you happy!
I don’t wish this problem for anyone, regardless of his politics. IIRC, his dad had the same problem.
Note to David: Get some help!!!
David Cassidy is a good man. He’s been through some issues and he’s gone through a lot, and he’s far from perfect. But he’s the sort of guy who you’d want to be your friend.
I read where he died in a fire. I think.
Well when you consider he IS Jack Cassidy’s son and the apple never falls too far from the tree.
Wow, isn’t he one of those “classic rockers” who make frequent appearances on FR’s music threads, along with Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, two of the many groups heavily influenced by him?
Doesn’t look very ‘butch’ in the bottom pic.
Once so young, now look so, so old. Poor David; he never knew when he was well off.
