"Springfield was stopped due to a traffic violation and was subjected to a sobriety test,” Lt. Chew told RadarOnline. “He failed and was then arrested and taken to Malibu Sheriff's station where he tested for alcohol levels. He reportedly blew at .10 and then a .08."

A witness to the arrest told RadarOnline.com that police “made him get out and do the full sobriety field test.

“He looked pretty gone, like he’d been having a really good time,” the witness said. “A friend of his had to drive his car away.”
