The 31-year old actor was arrested on June 16 on suspicion of drunk driving after being pulled over on the highway. His blood alcohol level allegedly was three times the legal limit of .08. In 2005, he was arrested and convicted of driving under the influence. That time, his blood alcohol level was more than double the legal limit, according to the criminal complaint.
Klein is enrolled in a thirty day alcohol addiction program at Utah’s Cirque Lodge and plans to extend his stay if need be.
