The singer known as “Miguel” was arrested Thursday morning in Los Angeles for allegedly driving drunk.
California Highway Patrol police pulled the half Mexican half African American singer over for speeding his 2013 BMW X6 at about 2:15 a.m. and got a whiff of something that, it appeared, smelled nothing like cologne.
They performed sobriety test, but he didn’t pass, and he blew a .10 and .11 on a breathalyzer. The legal limit in the state is .08, TMZ said.
