Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law.

Police officers spotted the 56-year-old actor-comedian early Sunday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

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

Did they take the BLOOD to the CLONE LABS?

Would it be raining on terrific tuesday if I wore a Wacky hat on wednesday?

WHAT WAS THe PUBLIC THREAT?

Were people IN DANGER DUE to BILL's ACTION? As a world we need to SERIOUSLY use better DIPLOMACY to insure that people know that WE WERE ALL "jacked up" for far too long... we(most of us who drank alcohol) have all been LAX in our ways... check the records...

ZERO TOLERANCE is something we need to STICK with when DRIVING

I use to SMOKE and DRIVE and that was WRONG, I no longer do that... We lived in a society that said "go out to a restaurant drink a BEER with your meal and drive home" (IT's MONEY)

We all need to tell ourselves : ZERO TOLERANCE, when driving in PUBLIC.

This may be a tricky case I recall something about it from other LIFE times although I am not sure just what...

Next time he will vacation in Rio, where there are no container laws.

I love Bill Murray. Only he could get popped for drunken cart driving. Comes out smelling like a rose (and liquor).

As a former candidate for Assistant Head Groundskeeper (in one of the top 5 comedies in movie history), now " he's got that going for him, which is good".

At least he didn't make anti-semetic remarks. Way to keep it under control, Bill.

wow is this different than the paris and lindsay crowds. i was about to suggest murray be thrown in a pirhana tank so as not to corrupt young people- or to describe what they would do to him in arizona. or to suggest capital punishment because there could have been multiple fatalities. i guess it's the hat. look out party girls.

When is The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences going to finally give the nod to Bill Murray for his outstanding acting work ??? Bill Murray is a great actor and is long overdue in winning his first Oscar!

He's pulling a Paris.

Hilton, that is.

Bill my man ! Turn you left hand over a bit and follow through. That should keep you off the streets unless of course you had run dry and a 7-11 was close. Anyway just accept a stroke and distance penalty and finish the round.

"There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy"

Then why are you bothering him?

Out of all the pictures he has done in the 25 years since "Caddyshack" that's the one you call him on?

His performance in Rushmore was brilliant...

Yet another example of the ugly american. Is it little wonder why the once incredibly friendly europeans now despise us and see us for the losers we really are.

What rights? In Sweden you fall under their laws and any asshole driving anything drunk is wrong. Period. Get off his jock.

What in the hell are you talking about, mrcontinental? In what way was Bill Murray an "ugly american"? He safely and slowly drove a golf cart less than one mile from a nightclub to his hotel, then politely refuses a breathalyzer test when asked to submit to one.

The drinking laws in Sweden are much stricter than they are here in the States. Also, why was he citing "American legislation."? Was he sooooooo wasted that he blacked out for a second? Try telling that to a judge.

...because euro-peons don't think Caddyshack is hilarious?
