Defective Breathalyzer for Rourke?

Last month, 1980’s movie icon Mickey Rourke was arrested for driving under the influence on a Vespa in Fort Lauderdale Beach. The Fort Lauderdale Herald is reporting that Rourke’s defense to the DUI charge is that the Breathalyzer used by the Fort Lauderdale Beach Police Department malfunctioned. Rourke’s attorney maintains that when Rourke first took the test the machine gave a blood alcohol reading of .081, just over the legal limit in Florida. However, a second test was administered later on and Rourke’s blood alcohol reading was said to be a .074. It is not determined whether the Fort Lauderdale-Dade County State Attorney’s office will drop the charges filed against Rourke.
