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.

Sunset Blvd is known for cruising...for many different things. It was announced on the local news that the police would be cracking down on cruising on Sunset this weekend. What an ignoramus to drive there on this Friday night while stoned.

Stone caught by the elitist fallacy - those plebeian laws don't apply to me! Twice now.

It's a wee-wee stretch of the imagination to believe anyone would want to see "little oliver" on camera, isn't it. It would be a very fool'hard'y thing for him to do.

Drunk driver and police checkpoints...who do I root for?

Police checkpoints stink. Nevertheless, root for justice and conservatism.

Both were served today.

How can justice and conservatism be served by a "stinking", unconstitutional application of police power?

"Brilliant quotes by Oliver Stoned;

"If I were George Bush, I would shoot myself. I think he lives in fear of drinking again. There's nothing more dangerous for America than an ex-alcoholic President who tells you to believe in Jesus."

"The Cold War has been the most irritating thing to me personally. Throughout my life we've been in the grip of militarism and military budgets and a mindset that dictates a war on Communism, and that's a drain on the national energy. The real enemy is nationalism and patriotism."

"The Indians once told me that stones are the most revered and ancient of recording devices. And that perhaps I am here on this Earth to write of these mute histories - just another stone, an 'Oliver' stone."

"If I were an aging hack filmmaker has been, and long time alcoholic and drug addict, I would shoot myself"
