'American Pie' actor Chris Klein arrested on DUI


LOS ANGELES – Actor Chris Klein was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of drunken driving after he was spotted weaving across lanes on a Southern California highway, authorities said. The 31-year-old "American Pie" star was pulled over while driving through Sherman Oaks on U.S. 101, the California Highway Patrol said in a statement. CHP Officer Patrick Kimball said Klein was booked and released on his own recognizance. A request for comment was left with Klein's agent and his manager. Klein was fined $1,800 and ordered to perform 150 hours of community service in 2005 after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge in north San Diego County. Klein played the character of Chris "Oz" Ostreicher in 1999's "American Pie" and in the 2001 sequel. He was also featured in the 1999 film "Election." — AP
