Last night David Cassidy was reported to have been pulled up by the Florida highway patrol as his mercedes was said to be "weaving and nearly caused an accident". The famous actor/singer and star of television show "The Partridge family" told cops that he "drank a glass of wine at lunch time and popped a painkiller a few hours before he was stopped by the highway patrol.

However, a breath test showed blood alcohol readings of 0.139 and 0.141 -- way over the .08 legal limit, TMZ said. The highway patrol trooper who caught him then found the half-empty bottle of bourbon after searching Cassidy's car. There was no mention of the arrest on Cassidy' official web page Thursday. The latest news section featured an item that a gig he performed in 1989 in the Ukraine was being posted on YouTube. His spokeswoman, Jo-Ann Geffen, told TMZ he admits taking a pain pill and being tired from attending a funeral, but insists he was not drunk. She did not immediately return an e-mail from The Associated Press.

So a highly embarassing situation from the former teenage star who was a heartthrob amongst teenage girls in the 1970's.
