Bill Murray Pulled Over for Drunk Carting?
It looks like Bill Murray was having just a bit too much fun in Stockholm while he was there for a Pro-Am golf tournament. Is it legal to drive a golf cart down a city street? Moreover, do drunk driving laws apply to golf carts?
I guess no matter what, celebrities can get away with pretty much anything, whether its alleged drunk driving or just taking your golf cart for a spin through a major city center. Read all about it below:
Nobody worry about me, says Bill Murray. He was just dropping off people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Stockholm driving a golf cart.
Golf-cart driver Bill Murray said he was "stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus."
The police "asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer," Murray told reporters Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he appeared before the premiere of his new film "The Darjeeling Limited."
The actor-comedian, who was among the early cast members on NBC’s "Saturday Night Live" and was nominated for an Oscar for 2003’s "Lost in Translation," said he was in Stockholm last month to play in a pro-am golf tournament, and hitched a ride to a post-event party in a golf cart.
When no one wanted to drive home, he volunteered.
"I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time and as the last couple were getting out, who wished to be dropped off at a 7-Eleven. … I didn’t know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm," said Murray, who turns 57 on September 21.
That’s where police called him over.
Swedish police took a blood test after he refused a breath test. He could face drunken driving charges, though a Stockholm police official has said fines were more likely than a prison sentence.
