According to reports, one of the stars of the controversial television series "Ben & Friends" was arrested late last night and charged with driving under the influence. Lambchop, the de facto heartthrob of the series, was pulled over doing 90 in a 55, with a blood alcohol level of .4, five times the legal limit. According to one of the star's publicists, the actor was tricked by fellow cast member, Jesus, into drinking water that was in fact wine, causing the star to become intoxicated unknowingly.This is not the first time a cast member of "Ben & Friends" has had legal trouble while behind the wheel. Actress Bea Arthur was famously killed off in only the second episode, after she was arrested for ramming producer JJ Abrams' vehicle with her own, in a wild car chase down the Los Angeles expressway covered live as breaking news across the nation.Lambchop posted 500 dollars bail, and is due in court to face charges later next month. Rumors have also begun to spread across the Internet that Lambchop made several racist and derogatory comments to the arresting officer at the time of the incident, reportedly asking the official if he was a goat, and saying that "goats are responsible for all the wars in the world". This has not been confirmed by authorities, and calls to Lambchop's representatives have gone unanswered.At this time, the producers of the program are standing by their employee, and have only said that the scripts currently in development are not been modified in any way because of recent events.Source |
