Christopher McDonald has appeared in nearly 200 films, yet he will forever be known as Shooter McGavin, his legendary character in the incredibly unrealistic golf film, “Happy Gilmore.” Clearly, these Los Angeles cops have never seen the movie.
On Saturday night, McGavin McDonald was arrested for drunk driving in the Lake Arrowhead area of Los Angeles, according to a report from TMZ, who obtained his all-time mugshot.
The 62-year-old actor reportedly lost control of his Porsche and crashed into a gas meter at around 9 p.m. local time. Before cops took him into custody, an eyewitness says McDonald told them he appeared in “Happy Gilmore.”
Believe it or not, L.A.’s finest were not amused, and took McDonald to a local jail to sober up before he can be released without bail. Had he won the Tour Championship, something tells us things would have gone a little differently.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time McDonald has been arrested for drunk driving. In 2013, TMZ reported he was nabbed for driving while intoxicated. Here’s hoping Shooter learns his lesson this time and doesn’t really hurt himself.
