Troopers reported finding a half-empty bottle of bourbon in the back seat

FORT PIERCE, Fla. (CBS/AP) Former “Partridge Family” star and teen heartthrob David Cassidy has been charged with driving under the influence in Florida.

The Florida Highway Patrol says his car was stopped Wednesday evening for weaving and nearly causing an accident.

Cassidy told a trooper that he had a glass of wine at lunch and a hydrocodone pill after that. Troopers reported finding a half-empty bottle of bourbon in the back seat.

The FHP says Cassidy failed a field sobriety test and two breath tests. Cassidy posted $350 bail and was released from jail early Thursday.

Cassidy’s spokeswoman, Jo-Ann Geffen, told TMZ.com that the former teen idol admits he did take a pain pill for his back earlier in the day, and may have been tired from an early morning funeral he had to attend, but insists he was not drunk.

He is also disputing the results of the two breathalyzer tests he took at the time of arrest – in which he blew a 0.139 and 0.141 – insisting his true blood alcohol content was not properly measured, 부산출장안마 according to the report.

Geffen told the website that Cassidy plans to fight the charges, adding, “He would never jeopardize anyone on the road and he would not have been driving had he not had to go to a funeral … he’s never been arrested in his life before for anything.”

“This is a movement of defensive assets operating in an air-to-air role only,” the statement continued. “They are not deploying to take part in any military action against Syria. The (prime minister) has made clear no decision has been taken on our response and the gGovernment has said that there will be a Commons vote before direct military involvement.” U.S. officials describe the Pentagon decision as prudent planning and say it doesn’t suggest the carrier would play a role in any possible strikes in Syria. The officials were not authorized to discuss ship movements publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The U.S. had kept two carriers in the region, but budget cuts in February forced officials to cut to one. CBS News correspondent David Martin reports two submarines — one American, one British — are in the eastern Mediterranean along with four American destroyers and a fifth on the way — all armed with cruise missiles. That’s more than enough firepower for a strike Pentagon officials say would be limited to fewer than 50 targets. Each of the destroyers carries about 40 cruise missiles – a satellite-guided weapon that carries a 1,000-pound warhead, has a range of 1000 miles or more and is accurate to within about 15 feet. Standard procedure would be for the ships to fire an opening salvo at night, wait for satellites to assess the damage and re-strike any targets that were not destroyed — a process that could take a few days. Any strike against Syria, Martin points out, would be designed to convince its dictator, President Bashar Assad, never to use chemical weapons again. But airstrikes never succeeded in changing the behavior of another Mideast dictator — Iraq’s Saddam Hussein — until he was finally captured and hanged.
