[ # ] Burn Notice’s Jeffrey Donovan arrested
July 20th, 2009 under Arrested


Burn Notice’s Michael Weston is used to run ins with the law this season, but Jeffrey Donovan who plays him is not. That was until he was arrested on July 12th for suspicion of DUI after he swerved to avoid hitting a cop car that was stopped at a red light according to WFOR.

The arrest affidavit states Donovan “quickly swerved in order to avoid striking the rear of the patrol car.”
When the officer approached Donovan’s vehicle, the officer observed the “driver had bloodshot watery eyes” and the officer “smelled a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the defendant’s breath and the defendant had a flushed face,” states the police report.
The officer asked Donovan if he had anything to drink and he answered, “I had three drinks at the Fountainebleau”, according to the affidavit.

The officer said that he didn’t perform the sobriety tests up to standars and refused to take the breathalyzer exam. The officer added that Donovan said, “I really think I’m only border line and not too drunk.” The cop felt differently and took him in.
I am not trying to make light of his situation because drinking and driving should not be taken that way, but with all the times that he played fake drunk on the show, I could picture the incident in my mind and his conversation with the officers.
