Vince Vaughn charged with drink driving

Actor Vince Vaughn allegedly refused to get out of his car when police officers asked him to at a sobriety checkpoint in Manhattan Beach, California, in June.

American actor Vince Vaughn has been charged with drunken driving.

Los Angeles County prosecutors say the 48-year-old Wedding Crashers actor has been charged with three misdemeanors: driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher and refusing to comply with police.

Authorities say Vaughn repeatedly refused to get out of his car when officers asked him to at a sobriety checkpoint in Manhattan Beach, California, on June 10.

Police say he failed a field sobriety test that was captured on an officer's body camera, and a blood test later showed he was over the legal limit.

Vaughn has not entered a plea. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on Monday.

His spokesman, Alan Nierob, declined comment.
