Oh no. He always seemed like such a straight arrow.

Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes.

That said he seems like a responsible person, and will take full responsibilty for this, and not whine and blame others like some celebrities do.

We all make mistakes, but there's still no excuse for this. I don't have much sympathy for anyone who gets a DUI, no matter how much I like them.

His character Neil has dealt with alcoholism on the show, I thought perhaps he would know better...

OK. This mess is getting tired. What in the world? Come on, now. He should know better than that. Why do people do this? I really don't have a lot sympathy either. If you have the knowledge of what can happen and you still take the risk, then you should pay the consequences.

I agree. I mean, I don't think it's something that should be held over their heads forever, but it also shouldn't be dismissed with a simple slap on the wrist.

I also agree. They should get SOME jail time, not just community service and/or probation, just like regular people.

First offense DUI in most states is only a fine, appear in court, court costs and its permanently on your driving record. that's if it's not an aggravated DUI or a DUI causing a crash and/or injuries to other persons. Sounds like he got arrested for 1st offense DUI. If your 1st time is an "Aggravated DUI" meaning more than 3 times over the limit, then the person also faces the possibility of having to drive with a DUI Interlock system in their vehicle for a year. I personally think that should go for any person who gets arrested for any type of DUI. Penalties also could be harsher if a person gets a DUI while driving on a revoked or suspended license.

For those of you who don't know, Dr. Jazz is in fact a cop. He knows whereof he speaks!!
