David Cassidy-Fighting Drunk Driver Charges - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

caro · 11-04-2010, 11:32 AM

David Cassidy is adamant that he was NOT hammered on booze when he got behind the wheel in Florida last night ... and says he plans to fight the DUI charges tooth and nail.

David's rep, Jo-Ann Geffen, tells TMZ ... the former teen idol admits he did take a pain pill for his back earlier in the day -- and may have been tired from an early morning funeral he had to attend -- but he definitely wasn't drunk.

Cassidy is also disputing the results of the two breathalyzer tests he took at the time of arrest -- insisting his true blood alcohol content was not properly measured.

Cassidy's rep tells us the actor is already on the hunt for a lawyer and plans to fight the charges adding, "He would never jeopardize anyone on the road and he would not have been driving had he not had to go to a funeral ... he's never been arrested in his life before for anything."

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Former "Partridge Family" heartthrob David Cassidy has been charged with driving under the influence in Florida.

The Florida Highway Patrol says his car was stopped around 6 p.m. Wednesday for weaving and nearly causing an accident.

Cassidy told a trooper that he had a glass of wine at lunch and a hydrocodone pill at 3:30 p.m. Troopers reported finding a half-empty bottle of bourbon in the back seat.

The FHP says Cassidy failed a field sobriety test and two breath tests. Cassidy posted $350 bail and was released from jail early Thursday.

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.

HE has such a smug look in that mug shot. David thinks he is going to fight this. Three test showed him 2 x over the limit. Then he had an empty container in the car.

I blame David for never taking responsibility. I also blame his fans, friends and family for not getting him the right help.

Well, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it. He's 60 years old, for crying out loud. He's responsible and no one else. Wasn't his late father a heavy drinker?

Marvo301 · 11-04-2010, 02:18 PM

Taking responsibility has never been one of David's strengths. But in this case with the evidence stacked against him he should man up and take responsibility for his own actions. I'm not holding my breath though.

I am also a member of FINDADEATH.com and I have the details of Jack's death.
Jack was at a Xmas party with Nanette Fabray.
Jack stop somewhere else and had a drink.
Jack actually did the politcally correct thing at the time.
HE left his car with a friend and walked home.
JaCK did not get a DUI.
Jack's alcohol level was .12 when the legal limit was .10.

David exaggerated all this in his books in movies.
In the movie he showed JAck surrounded by bottles and pasting out.
There was no alcohol at the scene.
Scott changed his directory somewhat.
HE took out the part about being bitter about the Ted Baxter role with he talk with Cloris Leachman.
JAck also did leave Shirley a $50,000 insurance policy so he took that out.

Thing is with David is that people look the other away, even the cops, for years because they want him to be KEith.

Two words for David Cassidy: MAN UP

caro · 11-05-2010, 10:48 AM

IT was kind of funny because Shaun had a rare appearance on OPRAH and it went well. HE sang and talked about the positive influence of his parents and family. The went to a break for upcoming news and there was David's mug shot.

David actually called up Danny to try to figure out how he could cover this up.
LIttle did David know it was all over the internet.

THis was on Danny board on WYSP.

Danny did as much press as he could have some fun with it, but he expects David to go into hiding. Danny knows that this won’t go away and thinks it’s a good idea that David speak for himself, tell the truth, and not let his publicists do the talking for him. The open bottle of booze might not make it easy to fight the validity of the breathalyzer. Pleading no contest might be the best move

Well, in the song Rosa's Cantina, David does sing that he's "gonna get high high high, on a bottle of wine".

I really enjoy those three albums David made for RCA in the 1970's. All three are good, but I think Gettin It In The Street is the best one.

Is all David doing nowadays is touring around performing these 40 year old Partridge Family songs? Nostalgia is great, but it's been nearly 20 years since David put out an album of worthwhile new music. The guy has talent, but apparently he's not utilizing it to full potential. Maybe he figures he's more successful with those old Partridge Family songs that everyone knows and loves.

Last year him and his brothers were on ABC FAMILY with a show called Ruby and the ROCKETS. IT FLOPPED after 10 episodes.
He is currently suppose to be on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump.

David is supposedly difficult to work with and he has gotten banned from some places. If you look at the thread "BOYCOTT THIS JERK", David had a breakdown at an autograph show.

That have a publicist that goes around making excuses for David.

Anyway it was suppose to be SHAUN's day yesterday on OPRAH. Funny how they cut to the new updates and they had David's mug shot.

HERE ARE SOME LINKS.

That should be interesting to see David appear on Celebrity Apprentice. I wonder how long he will last. He might do alright as long as he doesn't show up drunk in the boardroom.

Marvo301 · 11-05-2010, 06:28 PM

Maybe this is all publicity for a new TV series. "David Cassidy, Man Under the Influence"!

There are a few New CLIPS of Cassidy's arrest on YOUTUBE.
David has a John Lennon license plate.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nSpGKb6L2k

Here is another clip where they go up to David's house and they even try to talk to his neighbor's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miedD94dqSQ

He has a very nice house that is bought and paid for by the fans he loves so much.
David did not come out to speak to them

On the Tonight Show, Jay Leno made a joke. HE said they had a clip of the events. They went to a short clip of the Partridge Family bus going though a speed trap and being chased by the cops.
