LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS: DON’T ASK A COP FOR DIRECTIONS WHEN YOU’RE DRUNK

Lou Diamond Phillips pulled off the dumbest move while intoxicated within recent memory. It was 1:30 AM in Portland, Texas, and Lou was scheduled to be guest speaker at a civic event in nearby Flour Bluff, where he graduated from high school in 1980. Believe it or not, Lou was driving after having more than a few drinks, and he pulled up behind a POLICE OFFICER making a traffic stop. He got out of his car to ask directions to Flour Bluff, stumbled, and almost fell over. Really. The startled cop noted that his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit and Phillips ended up in jail overnight, booked on a DUI. To his credit, Lou made it to the event the next day and apologized to the audience.
