HOUSTON: The actor who has become something of a sex symbol as the scruffy-faced, somewhat rumpled star of ads for the travel booking site Trivago has been arrested in Texas on a misdemeanor driving while intoxicated charge.
Court records show 52-year-old Timothy Williams was arrested April 10 in Houston and freed on $100 bond.
Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said that Williams was stopped in traffic and passed out with his foot on the brake. Silva says Williams, who’s from Houston, failed a field sobriety test and agreed to having blood drawn for alcohol testing. Results weren’t immediately available.
A Trivago statement says the company didn’t have full details on the situation but treats such incidents very seriously and strongly condemns drinking and driving as a risk to others and against the Trivago culture.
Court records didn’t list an attorney representing Williams. AP
