'Walking Dead' star Seth Gilliam arrested for DUI, weed.

Re-write the script!


[IMG][/IMG]

Seth Gilliam, who joined the cast last season as the morally conflicted Rev. Gabriel Stokes, was arrested in Peachtree City, Georgia, early Sunday.

According to the Peachtree City Police Department, Gilliam was speeding 107 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone, and a marijuana cigarette was found in the car.

He was taken to the Fayette County Jail and charged with DUI, drug possession and speeding.

Gilliam was not far from Senoia, Georgia, where the hit AMC series is shot. Peachtree City about 30 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta.

But 107 mph is just nuts. Were there zombies following him. Or Rick for bad mouthing him and the group.

Not much to do in south GA but drink, I guess


Actor Scott Wilson, who played a farmer named Hershel Greene on the show, was arrested by Peachtree City police and charged with drunken driving in August 2012.

Well fast-ish. You'd still have a few people trying to pass you.

which is a misdemeanor offense and can carry jail time just by itself. Generally, it can get pleaded down but since it's a criminal charge you're pretty much stuck having to put money out for a lawyer for the plead-down.

I see that GA has a "reckless driving" offense so I am surprised that Gilliam didn't get that charge in this case.

Even as a white guy I wouldn't screw around like that in Georgia. 107 in a 55 after drinking, with weed in the car? In south Georgia? Not this guys brightest moment.

And I hope he's the next to die on TWD. Nothing to do with this arrest, I just hate his character.
