He was at least the fourth cast member of HBO show about a New Jersey mob family, now in its sixth season, to be arrested in the past year. Ventimiglia pleaded not guilty following his arrest early on Monday morning and was released on his own recognizance, a spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said. A police officer pulled over Ventimiglia's Volkswagen Jetta after the car swerved out of its lane with the headlights out, the charge sheet says. Ventimiglia spoke with slurred speech, had red watery eyes and smelled of alcohol, the officer said. Tests showed a blood alcohol level of 0.12 percent -- above the legal limit of 0.08 percent -- and Ventimiglia was carrying a small plastic bag with the residue of a white powder believed to be cocaine, police said. One of my favorite characters... :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Artie one of your favorites ? Raise your standards. haha. The surprising thing to me is that he was driving a Jetta. He has been on that show for years. Seems as though a minor upgrade might have occured over that time span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was wondering why he was driving a jetta too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't you been paying attention? Business has been slow, his employees were stealing credit card information from him, and some goombah shoved his arm down into boiling sauce. It's hard out there for a chef. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Agh, I can't stand Artie Bucco.. every time he is on screen and whining I am hoping this is the scene he kills himself. Maybe he could accidentally slip and kiss Paulie on the lips and then see how it goes. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
