Comedic actor David Koechner – best known for playing boozy louts in both Anchorman and The Office – was arrested on New Year’s Eve in Ventura, California. Koechner was reportedly arrested on suspicion of a DUI and hit and run in Simi Valley; the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office took him into custody and booked him in Ventura County Jail, where he was released the next morning. Koechner reportedly has a court date currently set for March due to the incident. Neither Koechner nor the Simi Valley Police Department are currently speaking out about the matter.
“Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … police got a call for an erratic driver, which a patrolling officer located – only to find David behind the wheel. We’re told he was given field sobriety tests, which he didn’t do well on … and got hauled in for drunk driving and allegedly hitting a street sign with his car…
…Law enforcement sources tell us Koechner blew two tires before he was pulled over. We’re told he blew a .13 BAC in the field and then a .12 once back at the station.
Per online records, he was released early the next morning … around 5 AM PT. He’s got a court date in March to answer for this arrest.”
