    NBC Sports announcer Al Michaels was arrested over the weekend in Southern California on suspicion of drunken driving, authorities said Sunday.

    Michaels was pulled over at about 9:30 p.m. Friday after officers manning a DUI checkpoint witnessed him make an illegal U-turn, Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis said.

    Michaels, the play-by-play man for "Sunday Night Football," was taken to the station, according to Lewis. Various media reports put his blood-alcohol level at .08, which is the legal limit in California.

    He was booked for suspicion of DUI and held for about five hours before being released on his own recognizance, Lewis said.

    "We are aware of the situation and we've been in contact with Al," said Greg Hughes, a spokesman for NBC Sports. "We have no further comment at this time."

    A call Sunday by The Associated Press to Michaels' agent was not immediately returned.

    Michaels was ordered to appear in court June 26.
