On 30 Rock, Saturday Night Live alum Tracy Morgan plays Tracy Jordan, a "wild and unpredictable movie star." In real life, Morgan was arrested for drunk driving this morning in New York City. TMZ breaks the story: The police report says Morgan "was unable to maintain a position in a lane of traffic" while driving at 4:38AM in Manhattan. And the Manhattan DA's office also told TMZ that Morgan's story was that he was "drinking a beer at a club."
This is his second drunk driving arrest - he's on probation for a Los Angeles DUI, which could mean serious repercussions with this second offense. And in honor of Brian Fellows, here's the video of a monkey washing a cat.
