This never happened to Uncle Jesse on Full House!
John Stamos was arrested in Beverly Hills last night and charged with DUI, and was reportedly so loaded that cops sent him directly to the hospital.
According to the police report, the Beverly Hills PD received “numerous calls about a possible DUI driver”; in the area, and at approximately 7:45 p.m. stopped a vehicle that wound up being driven by the 51-year-old star.
Stamos was then taken by officers to a nearby hospital “for a possible medical condition.”; While at the hospital, however, doctors determined he had been driving under the influence and he was placed under arrest.
Police issued Stamos a citation for DUI, and released him into the care of the hospital.
Stamos is due in court on Sept. 11 — right around the time his upcoming Fox sitcom Grandfathered is set to premiere.
