Caddyshackled: Bill Murray Drunk Drives His Golf Cart
Bill Murray is facing some serious fines after getting popped driving a golf cart — allegedly after a few cocktails — around downtown Stockholm. The actor was running around Sweden to participate in the Scandinavian Masters celebrity golf tournament. Unfortunately for Murray, the Swedes don’t take kindly to drunk driving. While cops admitted that Bill was showing no signs of drunkeness, they could smell booze on his breath. The policemen asked to administer a breath test, to which the Caddyshack star responded with ‘no dice.’ People Magazine reports:
“He refused to blow in the [breathalyzer] instrument, citing American legislation,” said (Detective) Holmlund. “So we applied the old method – a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.”
Murray subsequently signed a statement admitting to driving under the influence and agreed to permit a police officer plead guilty on his behalf should the case go to court, Holmlund said.
“Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America,” according Holmlund, who said Murray would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit – said to be very low in Sweden.
Well think of it this way: at least if you hit something in a golf cart nobody will get hurt. He was just playin’ it safe!
