Kevin Hart arrested, on charges of DUI. In what appears to be the first experience for the comedian, Kevin Hart was arrested by California Highway Patrol for DUI around 4:30 a.m. today after the Police spotted him driving dangerously at a high speed and almost buomped into a gas tanker truck. He was pulled over after failing a field sobriety test and was taken to jail.The actor was kept at Van Nuys jail on $5,000 bond but was subsequently released. Only then he took to Twitter to reveal the details about the incident. He tweeted;
"I'm officially a thug, I spent 6hrs in jail last night...I got pulled over 3blocks from my house by a dick head cop," He went on to say : "This cop was the worst, he knew who I was & wanted to make an example out of me....". Also Hart continued to amuse his followers saying , "I did 6,000 push-ups& 13,000 sit ups while I was in the pin....shout out to my celly "Mark" we exchanged war stories LMFAO...When the cop asked me to take the sobriety test I said "WHY WASTE OUR TIME...I'M DRUNK MAN”. He seems to have been disturbed by the incident with the media reporting it all over.
Apart from the jokes, the comedian said, "On some real shit....drinking & driving is not a game or a laughing matter. People have lost lives because of stupid s**t this! This is a wakeup call for me, I have to be smarter & last night I wasn't....everything happens for a reason...."
