But...but...but...I'm ENLIGHTENED! Doncha watch TV??!!! One-way streets are so unevolved! Why should we who have evolved past that point have to pay attention to laws that bind lesser humans? Not us! We're tuned into a *higher* law, the laws of nature! This is stupid...it's almost like trying to suggest that WE, as special as we are, should actually follow the rules that apply to lesser, unevolved people like your- selves! Like posting...uh...speed limits and stuff like that. This is so UNFAIR! Why don't you understand how SPECIAL we are??!!
< sound of handcuffs clicking shut > JACKSON, Mich. (Aug. 24) - Austin Nichols , the title character in HBO's "John From Cincinnati," was arrested early Friday on suspicion of drunken driving. The 27-year-old actor was stopped by police about 2:40 a.m. after being spotted driving a silver Mercury Mountaineer the wrong way down a one-way street in the city, said Jackson police Lt. John Holda. An officer smelled alcohol and, after conducting sobriety tests, took Nichols into custody. A breath test later indicated he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.10 percent, Holda said. The legal limit for drivers in Michigan is 0.08 percent. Nichols, who also appeared in "Deadwood," was held at the Jackson County Jail and released about 8:40 a.m., said Jackson County sheriff's Lt. Carl Carmoney. He wasn't arraigned and was expected to appear in court at a later date. If convicted of drunken driving, Nichols could face up to 93 days in jail, a $500 fine and community service. A call seeing comment Friday from Nichols' publicist was not immediately returned.
