David Koechner who you probably recognize from ‘Anchorman’ and ‘The Office’ has been charged with a DUI and hit-and-run charges in California stemming from an arrest in December of 2021. The 59-year-old actor faces jail time of up to six months for each misdemeanor.
However, he will likely only get probation and have to complete a mandatory alcohol education course since he is a first-time offender.
The incident took place on New Year’s Eve when he was allegedly driving erratically and hit a stop sign. According to sources he also failed the sobriety test.
‘Anchorman’ & ‘Office’ Star David Koechner Charged With DUI Following A Hit-And-Run
He was arrested then for suspicion of driving under the influence and booked at the Ventura County Jail. He is due back for court in just a few weeks. Meanwhile, he’s been on social media and it’s been business as usual for the comedian. He has been plugging his comedy tour, “Blue Skies & Dirty Lies” and even announced that he will be in Oklahoma City.
This seems to be a difficult time for Koechner however, as in 2020 he filed for divorce from his wife, Leigh Koechner after 22 years of marriage and was then allegedly drunk driving.
Whether or not he’ll have to serve jail time seems to still be up in the air and we will let you know when we find out. Unfortunate for a star that gave us a lot of laughs, but just because you are a celebrity doesn’t mean you should get away with something like this.
