I wasn’t going to cover the whole “Mickey Rourke got a DUI” thing because let’s face it, celebrity DUIs are a dime a dozen these days. It’s not just the partying skanky crowd that gets them, Rebecca De Mornay got one a few days ago, General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms, and some other big and small celebs. It’s starting to seem like it’s a right of passage for them. And really, while they’re upsetting, they’re generally not all that interesting. Now Mickey Rourke was riding a Vespa scooter, which does make it a little funnier. Not funny “ha ha” funny “unusual.” But I still wasn’t going to touch the story. And then I found out it was a mint green Vespa. And that changed everything.

You’d think Mickey Rourke getting busted on a DUI would only reaffirm the actor’s badass reputation. Ditto that cops dubbed him “uncooperative” during the arrest. But the fact that he was collared while tooling around town on a mint green Vespa? That detail could hurt him. The star of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man was arrested for driving under the influence in Miami Beach early Thursday, after cops spotted him making an illegal U-turn on his trusty scooter. He spent several hours in the Miami-Dade County Jail before posting $1,000 bond.

According to the police report, Rourke was stopped at a red light at 4:11 a.m. and then proceeded to weave across the northbound side of the street “several times” before police pulled him over. Per the report, Rourke greeted the officers with a cheery, “What the f–k did I do?” Miami Beach police officer P. Socarras, who stopped the 55-year-old, described Rourke as having “a flushed face, bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath.” Rourke apparently didn’t see it that way. “I’m not drunk,” he told the officer, per the arrest report. “I didn’t even drink that much.”

Rourke was just barely over the legal limit of .08 – he blew a 0.081. My guess is that it’ll get thrown out. The best part was when he left the police station with his shirt completely unbuttoned and flapping in the wind. A mint green Vespa and exposing your nipples on your way out of jail? What a carefree spirit!
