Bill Murray Refuses Breathalyzer, Drives intoxicated

Actor Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge in Sweden after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing a breathalyzer test -- citing U.S. law -- police said Wednesday.

Police officers spotted Murray early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled like alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

"He refused to blow in the (breathalyzer) instrument, citing American legislation," Holmlund told The Associated Press. "So we applied the old method -- a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in."

Murray, who had been visiting a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty on his behalf if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

"Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America," Holmlund said.

Even in the U.S., if you're driving a golf cart, you probably are drunk.
