Joyce DeWitt Busted!

Arrested on charges of DUI
Monday, July 6th, 2009

Former Three’s Company star Joyce DeWitt was busted on charges of drunk driving over the weekend after she got caught driving past a traffic barracade. Upon closer inspection, DeWitt apparently smelled of booze and the rest, as they say, is history. She got busted, y’all:


TMZ has learned “Three’s Company” star Joyce DeWitt was arrested for DUI on July 4th in El Segundo, California. Law enforcement sources tell us DeWitt drove past a barricade Saturday afternoon — and when an officer approached her, she smelled like booze. She was given field sobriety tests and then arrested for suspicion of DUI. The 60-year-old actress, who played Janet Wood on the 80’s sitcom, posted bail for $5,000.

Dang. It sucks that Joyce DeWitt, who I loved as Janet on Three’s Company, would be foolish enough to allegedly endanger the lives of others by choosing to drive drunk. As much as I loved her on TV, I hope she and all other folks convicted of DUI are punished to the full extent of the law. When I heard of DeWitt’s arrest, I was reminded of when Dawn Wells (who played Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island) got busted for marijuana possession last year. What’s with all the classic TV stars turning to a life of crime these days?
