Vince Vaughn was arrested Sunday morning (10 June) on suspicion of drinking under the influence (DUI).

The 48-year-old – best known for the movies Dodgeball, Hacksaw Ridge, and Wedding Crashers – was stopped at a DUI checkpoint outside of Los Angeles by police.

Manhattan Beach Police Department confirmed they took the actor into custody on charges of drink driving and resisting arrest.

An officer told CNN that Vaughn was not "fighting with officers, but more of delaying the investigation" and that: "There was no officer use of force or anything like that."

The publication also reports that an unidentified male passenger travelling with Vaughn was also arrested, on charges of obstructing officers and public intoxication.

Both men were taken to Manhattan Beach Police Department and left later on Sunday after their bail was posted. Vaughn's mugshot has since been released to the public.

Vaughn has previously had a run-in with the law. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he was arrested for assault back in 2001 following a bar brawl in Norht Carolina, in which fellow actor Steve Buscemi was stabbed. the charges against Vaughn were later dropped.
