avid Cassidy was arrested on Wednesday in upstate New York for driving while intoxicated, ABC News has confirmed.

According to the Schodack Police Department, the singer, 63, was arrested just after midnight for felony DWI and failure to dim headlights. He was arraigned and remanded to Rensselaer County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail. He later made bail and has since been released.

Cassidy is scheduled to return to Town Court on Sept. 4.

A representative for the performer could not be reached for comment.

Some people never learn!!! :rolleyes: :mad:

He has probably gotten away with it before but then the cop recognized him and let him go. This cop was young and didn't know who he was. By the way, the copy's name was Tom Jones. David made a joke when he stopped him. He said 'Whats up Pussycat'?

I remember when he was arrested last time - that was in late 2009, I think. Or 2010, somewhere around there. The joke, David? Not funny.

I would think more people would be talking about this. I got criticized when I reported on news about David. David's 3rd marriage is ending and the other person in his car was listed as his fiancé. The so called fans seem to ignore bad news.

I don't know.

I'm curious what your beef is with David Cassidy. It seems every time he gets in some sort of trouble, you're quick to report it, even starting a new thread so everyone knows. But when his mother died this year, you were silent. No comment at all, as far as I can tell. No sympathy for him ever, just scorn. Why?

As far as this it is his 2nd DUI and it is a felony. He should not be driving this guy has serious problems. Maybe I want people to know that he has been messing up at concerts too. I think we are old enough to handle this.

He's a human being. I don't condone drinking and driving at all, but some of what you post just seems like overkill. Yes, he's got problems. He's also had to spend years worrying about a mother suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Ask any family who has had to endure a loved one dealing with that, it takes a huge toll. And worse for him because he was her only child, so that ordeal has all been placed on his shouders. Now she has passed away, and he has not siblings to share that pain with. He's also apparently had difficulties in a very long marriage. Add to that a lifetime of being identified with a show he did 40 years ago, and being famous enough that every misstep puts him in the spotlight. We can't even imagine what that's like. He's obviously hurting. Like I said above, his mother dies and you have no comment, no sympathy at all, but the second he gets in trouble for drinking or a performance, you're ready to blast it to the world. In spite of your protestations, you seem to relish this. If you are anything more than a cruel human being, then give this guy a break. You certainly aren't showing yourself to be morally superior.

In my opinion, this thread and all those like it represent a very unhealthy attitude and/or obsession with someone. I have no idea what exactly started this apparent hatred of Cassidy, but you are right; whatever he's done he's a human being and the relentless negativity is depressing and unwarranted.

What is the point, anyway? Are we all expected to finally shout out, "YES, DAVID CASSIDY IS A TERRIBLE PERSON AND YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT HIM ALL ALONG?"

This is it for me. I can no longer justify reading these posts; it's just feeding into a pathology. The original poster is now on my "ignore" list.

I am now getting personal attacks. David lived in Florida and his mother lived on California. I know the Shirley and her kids were close to Evelyn also. David has had a lot of riches from the Partridge Family yet there were times when he would walk out of interviews when the show was mentioned. There were also interviews when David said he was his mother's only living relative. Hello, there is Katie Cassidy who has the middle name of Evelyn and has pictures with her and said she was the inspiration for her to go into show business. Her family was also close to Evelyn. David has been having problems for quite some time but they have been becoming more prevalent. I welcome anyone's comment here. Remember, I did say I agree with David about Shirley's book. He said the book company was sold a bill of goods and her current husband was behind it. Good for him.

I'm with you, Retro. This caro person exhibits none of the characteristics he/she suggest famous folks like David Cassidy should possess. And will continue to make excuses for behaving in what boils down to simple mean-spiritedness. Perhaps at the heart of it "caro" is just jealous of Mr. Cassidy? After all, we all know who David Cassidy is, but who the &*#% is caro? Certainly not someone who can relate to David Cassidy's life, or has a single clue what it would be like to be in his shoes. Unless his person is stalking David, they do not know what goes on in his life, who he's with, what he's doing, other than the tabloid crap they read. What gets me is people who constantly disparage famous people like this, while all the time hiding anonymously behind some screen name. If you want to be in a position to criticize a famous person, then have the guts to reveal your own self to the world. Tell us your name, show us your face, so we can investigate you and you will be on equal footing. Otherwise, I'll just consider you a jealous coward with no compassion towards your fellow human beings, and with no credibility.

I sometimes think that we have a certain image of a person we don't want to let go of. David has had money problems also in the past year I didn't report on. There was an autograph show that was reported first a few years ago by someone else. This past year there was an incident at a Monkee Convention where David was paid to show up and sign autographs. David came late, left early and no autographs. This behavior is being repeated. Is it considerate to warn people about his behavior. People spend money on gas, hotel rooms, time away from work to see this guy. Maybe you want to experience things yourself, go ahead. It is a free country. Just remember next time he has a DUI things won't go as fortunate.

I don't get something. If this were Danny Bonaduce the replies would be different. This is a sitcom site and how many of these people have similar problems. I am sorry but this is news on credible news sites. I looked at the past posting and most are trivia questions about the show.

Worst of all:

In the episode "Trial of the Partridge One", Keith borrowed 25 cents from Laurie's friend, Cindy Brown, so he could buy a taco.

He never paid Cindy back. Guilty as charged! :angryfire

Court adjourned! :bash:

Danny Bonaduce had a good tweet. He said that with David's DUI and Shirley's 3 way that he is now the good Partridge. Danny did try to call David but David didn't return the call. Last time David did call Danny and all David wanted to know was how to get out of it. I am sorry but last time there was a half empty bourbon bottle in the back. I know David has been to rehab before. I wonder if at this point in his life he could turn himself around?

Does anyone wonder why David didn't take a cab or rent a limo if he was drinking? It seems both options are far cheaper than bail or lawyer fees. :rolleyes:

That can be said for a lot of people.

Problem is you are thinking logically and when someone is drunk, logic is lost.

He and his fiancé were coming in from Las Vegas and they rented a car because they were going to her friend's place. This is in upstate NY and I don't know of too many taxis in a rural area. People asked why she didn't drive but it was after midnight and she might have been tired. David was not that much over the limit (.1 on a .08 limit) but still he takes pain medication and you are not suppose to drive or operate heavy machinery with them. On the report it said David is 5ft 6 inches and 145 pounds. He is not that big and it effects his system quicker.

Danny wasn't there to lend him the cab fare. (With modest interest charges, of course).

;)

Last time David got arrested Jay Leno said they had footage. It was the Partridge Family bus going through a speed trap with the cops following them.

When I read David's autobio 20 years ago, he said at the end that he didn't drink anymore....except for an occasional half glass of wine or glass of light beer.

You either drink or you don't. Anyone who says they don't drink anymore, but occasionally has one has no credibility in my eyes.

Sad that after all these years (and what happened to his Dad) that David can't get his act together.

Jack's death was not alcohol related. Jack was sitting near the fireplace so he may have assumed that the smoke was coming from there. He tried to get up and was found near the porch. His Blood Alcohol level was .12 when the legal limit for driving was .10. Jack wasn't driving. He was sitting at home.
It is time to realized that David puts out books for a quick buck and its full of half truths and lies. I can't see why people can't see that. Addicts lie. Another thing is this guy thinks so little of his fans because he thinks they prevented him from having a better career.

Agreed.

David was supposed to show up at court today. He moved his court appearance to the County Courthouse. No date has been set.

I can understand the heat David gets. I was at The Hollywood Collector's Show a few years ago when he appeared there and he disappointed his fans by walking out after 30 minutes, there were reports that he would only sign the latest pics of himself and not any from the Partridge years. This is how I lost respect for him, people wait in line for hours and this is how you treat your fans? I don't think so.

I heard all about that fiasco. How horrible. If you're getting paid to appear and the fans are paying for you to sign - SIGN WHATEVER THEY WANT!!!

P.S. Would he have gotten into that much of a snit if people has asked him to sign David Cassidy, Man Undercover pics? :lol:

I think David is a bitter man. From what I've read, it seems like he envisioned a career as a serious actor for himself. And then TPP comes along and he's branded as a teen idol for life.

While he pays lip service to how he's fine with that legacy, I'd be willing to bet he feels differently.

Other actors have been on stupider shows and manage to have an acting career. Tom Hanks in Busom Buddies and John Travolta in Welcome Back Kotter. David's look and build was not the leading man of the 70's look. Think Dustin Hoffman, Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland. I don't get where David thought there was this big acting career out there for him? What gets to me are the fans that eat up the garbage he thows out. He constantly throws his father under the Partridge Family bus to put out stories of his life. Does he mention that he tried to deny paternity to Katie Cassidy and failed to make child support payment. He only warmed up to her after she had a successful acting career. The real David Cassidy story has yet to be told.

Even Shirley Jones mentioned in her new book that David was starting to show up late for tapings and had to sit him down and give him a lecture about how his attitude was costing the cast and the crew of TPF. It must have worked - probably Shirley would have been the only one on that set he would have listened to.

I don't think anyone could get through to David at this point in his life. I could imagine at this point if you don't enable him that he cuts off contact. Danny Bonaduce even says that David won't return his calls.

I remember that!! I couldn't stop laughing. :lol:

I am so sorry to hear his mother had Alzheimer's. That disease is sad for everyone. But not every one who has a love one with the disease goes out to for a drive with alcohol in their system to relieve their pain.

He has probably gotten away with it before but then the cop recognized him and let him go. This cop was young and didn't know who he was. By the way, the copy's name was Tom Jones. David made a joke when he stopped him. He said 'Whats up Pussycat'?

Mr. Young Cop likely never even heard of this Partridge show.
