Lost actor arrested in Bend for driving drunk

Matthew Fox — the man who saved the island on “Lost” and found himself in a dispute last year with an Ohio bus driver — has reportedly gotten into some new legal trouble.

TMZ reported earlier today that Fox, 45, was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of driving under the influence. The arrest reportedly occurred at 3:23 a.m. Friday in Bend, Ore., where Fox lives with his wife and two children. Citing Oregon law enforcement sources, the celebrity gossip site said Fox and an unidentified passenger were on a fast-food run when the incident occurred. The actor was taken into custody and released the same day; the report stated that the arrest was allegedly “alcohol-related.”

Update: The Bend Police Department issued a news release late this afternoon that confirmed that Fox was arrested in the wee hours of Friday morning. The report states that the actor’s car was stopped at the intersection of NW 14th St. and NW Jacksonville Ave., at 2:27 a.m. after failing to drive within its lane and use an appropriate signal. During the traffic stop, an officer determined that Fox was “under the influence of intoxicants”; he was subsequently detained at the Deschutes County Adult Jail. The case has been forwarded to the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office, the news release said.

Matthew Fox lives in Bend? That explains why I've seen a guy who looks exactly like Matthew Fox there on more than one occasion.

for some reason I thought he has had a run in with the law there before.

Well yes. For instance I spend a lot of time in Central Oregon...

Just to update, Fox bribed Bend Police to not take his mug shot while he was drunk. They made up the story that the machine was broken and refused comment after it was challenged. They also stopped releasing to the public a detailed account of all arrests (a daily routine for at least the ten years I have lived in Beautiful Central Oregon) starting that evening, saying they were switching to a new computerized system that had some bugs needing to be worked out first.

They were called on it by a reporter and police refused to comment on the charges of obvious and likely illegal favoritism provided to the ex-star. He was allowed 2 months to sober up for his special mug shot sitting, which you can view at this link:
