The 61-year-old actor was arrested yesterday (9/11) for driving under the influence after a California Highway Patrol officer observed Nolte's Mercedes-Benz weaving across lanes and into oncoming traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
According to a CHP spokesman, Nolte was "drooling" when he got popped at 12:40 PM. After failing a field sobriety test--it's unclear whether Nolte was drunk or drugged-up--the actor was taken to the Lost Hills sheriff's station where he was booked. (2 pages)
