(Newser) – Former teen heartthrob David Cassidy was arrested yesterday for allegedly driving under the influence. The Partridge Family star, 60, was pulled over after a cop saw him weaving on the Florida Turnpike, the Palm Beach Post reports. Cassidy said he’d had a glass of wine at lunch and took a hydrocodone; his blood alcohol content was measured at 0.139 and 0.141. Police found a half-empty bottle of bourbon in his car.

Cassidy’s rep says he was tired, not drunk, and says he will fight the charges, TMZ reports. For more, click here.

David Cassidy? I'm sure he appreciates the publicity. Remember, any publicity is good publicity so long as it keeps you in the public eye. Enjoy the ride David.
