Chris Klein Arrested for a DUI

Chris Klein, famed actor from the movie "American Pie," was formally charged with a DUI on Monday. He is currently facing 2 misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence, and could face up to a year in jail.

According to the CHP, Klein was arrested on June 16th after being seen weaving across lanes on the 101 in Sherman Oaks. This is not Klein's first DUI offense. In 2005, he was fined $1,800 and served community service after pleading guilty of a DUI in San Diego county.

Because this is his second DUI offense, he faces more serious consequences. If his APS hearing or his criminal conviction is unsuccessfully challenged, he loses his driving privileges. The DMV may suspend his license for two years upon learning of a second drunk driving conviction within 10 years. He may also face a mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device.
