Bill Murray drinks and drives golf buggy

23 Aug 2007

Actor Bill Murray could face a drink-driving charge after being stopped driving a golf buggy down a Stockholm street late at night.

The Lost in Translation star refused a breath test, but gave the cops a blood sample instead.

Murray, who was visiting a golf tournament, then signed a document admitting he was under the influence.

He was driving back from an exclusive nightclub in Stockholm in the golf buggy he had borrowed from his hotel when police stopped him and noticed the smell of alcohol.

“The police thought it looked strange so they stopped him,” said Det Inspector Holmhund.

He said it was illegal to drive a golf cart outside a golf course.

"He said in the United States you don't have to do it," station commander Jan-Olov Lundgren.

Lundgren said. "He was very calm and friendly .... No problem at all."

He was driving very, very slowly on the footpath along Birger Jarlsgatan," a witness told the Expressen newspaper. "He took a break for a while at a 7-Eleven before driving on home to the hotel."

“If the blood tests show he was over the limit, it wasn't by much, Holmlund said.

"There was no obvious signs like when someone is really tipsy," he said.

Murray also isn't in trouble for taking the golf cart. "I don't hold any grudge," said tournament head Fredrik Nilsmark.
