Hannah Montana star Mitchel Musso may have portrayed a squeaky clean image as Oliver Oken on the hit series but in real life the actor has been arrested for driving drunk down the street of Burbank, California.
The 20-year-old underage drinker was pulled over at approximately 3:45 AM at an unrelated traffic accident after police told him to slow down and he failed to heed their warning.
The arresting officer says they approached the actors 2007 Mercedes-Benz and smelled the “strong odor of alcohol” on his breath.
After allegedly failing a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer Musso was arrested and booked into custody at the Burbank Police Station where he was held on $5,000 bail. Musso was released several hours after being booked.
Mitchel Musso current stars in the Disney shows Pair of Kings and PrankStars.
Disney reps are not currently commenting on the actors DUI, then again they have always been good at image control, just look at what they did to keep Hannah Montana going after Miley’s various transgressions.
Do you think Mitchel Musso’s DUI arrest will cause some parents to pull their kids away from his TV show? If anything I believe it gives parents the perfect opportunity to speak with their kids about the dangers of alcohol abuse.
