EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – An actress who starred on the hit television series "Three's Company" has been arrested in Southern California and cited for drunken driving. Police say Joyce DeWitt, who played the character Janet Wood on the popular show, was pulled over Saturday afternoon after she drove past a barricade near a park in El Segundo.

Sgt. Danny Kim says an officer arrested the 60-year-old DeWitt after he observed signs she had been drinking and gave her field sobriety tests.

Kim says DeWitt was booked at the Police Department, cited and released on her own recognizance.

A telephone listing for DeWitt was not immediately available.

Wow, Joyce has really gone downhill.

[virgogal]

1. Sad. I wish her well.

[rooboy]

2. If she keeps that up, she'll have 2 roommates again soon. n/t

[xchrom]

3. oh. dear. nt

[Cleita]

4. So how many deaths of innocent people is she responsible for?n/t

[dmallind]

5. Probably none like 99.999999% of all "drunken" drivers. NT

[get the red out]

6. good point

It is sad on an individual level, but that's about it.

23. About as many as the people who voted against Public Transportation in El Segundo.

Public Transportation is the cure for drunk driving as well as elders driving when they are too old to do so and it is also effective in fighting teenage unemployment.


PS - on holidays like this last weekend, just having taxis doesn't cut it.

[Cleita]

25. Such a good point.

Applause. :applause:

[slampoet]

27. For a decade my talking point has been. "Lack of Public Transportation is racism against the eldery

the poor,
the young,
and the disabled."

7. She's 60!?! I'm old.

Hoping for all the best for her, but Joyce DeWitt being 60 is tough to take.

I'm a couple years away myself. How the hell did this happen??

[Sebastian Doyle]

19. Well..... at least she made it to 60

John Ritter didn't :evilfrown:

[Tab]

24. Didn't she run into this same problem a few years ago?

Or am I thinking of someone else...?

Oooh... I remember... MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island.

[madamesilverspurs]

34. Shaddup!

I can see her in my rear view mirror. Still amazed that I've made it this far.

[msongs]

8. still a nice looking woman but that expression is not her best lol nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. Yeah, she looks good for her age. Deer in headlights look doesn't help

[Cleita]

14. I should put up my last picture that they took for my driver's

license. I was younger than her, very sober, and she looks a lot better in a mug shot than I ever did for my driver's license. Honestly, you guys are creeps.

[quickesst]

31. "Honestly, you guys are creeps."

I think you are being too kind. Thanks.

[CreekDog]

26. kind of hard to strike a pose for a mugshot

i feel bad for her.

i hope this is just a one time screw up and that she doesn't have severe alcohol problems and/or a pattern of DWI.

[UTUSN]

9. Aw. But she (and Mel) could afford a designated driver. n/t

[obliviously]

10. I hope she is not having

problems. I always liked her.

[sce56]

12. What a freaking shame I liked her better than the ditzy one she was cuter!

[dysfunctional press]

13. she looks pretty good for a liquored up 60-year old...

probably even better TO a liquored up 60-year old.

[Cleita]

16. She looks better than the 60+ church lady who lives down the lane from me.

I really like the church lady and I think I would like Joyce if I met her. We are in the same age group and could be girl friends.

[cufford]

15. Celebrity culture

As if this story should be on the front page of Democratic Underground, or any other mainstream news site.

No more than Michael Jackson should be, and he's 1000 times more recognizable than this one-time actress.

It's no wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket, when stories like this make national news, rather than the deaths of millions of innocent men, women and children dying every day due to greed for wealth and power.

What's wrong with you people!

[Wednesdays]

33. This is on the front page?

Where? :shrug:

So far, I see 0 rec's.

Oh, I see...you just recently signed up here.

[Lautremont]

18. Dammit Janet!

The river was deep but I swam it, Janet
The future is ours so let's plan it, Janet
So please don't tell me to can it, Janet

If there's one fool for you then I am it, Janet
Now I've one thing to say and that's

Dammit, Janet, I love you...

[thelordofhell]

28. Whoaaaaa!

Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad, or mediocre
Oooh J-A-N-E-T I love you so
