Jason London Arrested For Being Intoxicated; 'Dazed and Confused' Actor Crashed His Car Multiple Times [DETAILS]
Jason London, popularly known for his role as Randall "Pink" Floyd in the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused," was recently arrested for public intoxication.
According to TMZ, the actor was so drunk, he lost control and crashed his vehicle multiple times. Per the police report obtained by the outlet, London was arrested on Tuesday evening in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
In addition, his 2010 Nissan Maxima car was also on fire and stuck in a ditch. An unknown passenger was said to be standing near the site; the vehicle was damaged heavily on the passenger side.
London defended himself and claimed that someone had "sideswiped" his car and left them after the incident.
However, authorities stated that the actor was intoxicated, couldn't keep his balance, and had slurred speech when they arrived.
After an investigation was made, cops believed the actor's vehicle swerved off the road and crashed into a sign before ultimately going back to the road only to hit a concrete object.
The actor, who also appeared in the 1991 movie "The Man in the Moon," was booked for public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident.
When he took a trip to the police station, law enforcement said he was so intoxicated; they couldn't get his fingerprint.
As to why he wasn't charged with DUI, a spokesperson said the officer who arrested him used his discretion and decided to arrest him with other charges.
