Mitchel Musso, "Hannah Montana" star, arrested for DUI
(CBS) Mitchel Musso, best known for playing Oliver Oken on the "Hannah Montana" show, was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Burbank, Calif., according to multiple sources.
New York's Daily News reports that the actor was pulled over on Oct. 16 after he failed to pay attention to an officer's instructions to slow down in an intersection where an accident had occurred. The cops on scene said they smelled a "strong odor of alcohol," and gave Musso a field sobriety test, which he failed, according to statements made by Sergent Sean Kelley of the Burbank Police Department to the newspaper.
Video: Backstage at "Hannah Montana"TMZ, which first broke the story, reported that law enforcement officials said Musso had a blood alcohol content level well above California's legal limit of .08 during the breathalyzer test. Also, the drinking age in California is 21; Musso is only 20.
Musso was arrested for suspicion of DUI, and bail was set at $5,000, according to TMZ. He was released from custody a few hours later.
Musso currently stars on two Disney Channel shows, and voices the character of Jeremy Johnson on the Disney cartoon "Phineas and Ferb." "Prank Stars" is a program where a celebrity plays a prank on an unsuspecting fan. "Pair of Kings" is a series about two 16-year-old twins who are being raised by their aunt and uncle when they find out they are heirs to the fictional island of Kinkow.
