Sam Shepard

Sam Shepard, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor, was arrested in January 2009 on a drunk driving charge. Shepard was busted after police in Normal, Illinois pulled over his car for speeding (after detecting signs of intoxication, cops had Shepard take a Breathalyzer test, which showed his blood alcohol content was twice the state's legal limit). Shepard told officers that he had been drinking in a Bloomington bar, and was en route to the Kentucky home he shares with actress Jessica Lange.
