[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was arrested in Beverley hills for drug possession and driving while intoxicated. Sgt. John Edmundson, a Beverly Hills police spokesman confirmed that the police had pulled him in after he was spotted driving erratically at about 11:30 p.m. Friday at a police checkpoint on Sunset Blvd.
He added that the director then failed a Breathalyzer test. Subsequently, a search of his automobile, a Mercedes, yielded drugs. Edmundson declined to name these drugs, saying that tests were needed to be conducted to identify them. Lt. Micaela Garland added that the confiscated pills were being analyzed at a lab. Mr. Stone then spent a night in the jail and was released around 6:30 a.m on Saturday after putting up $15,000 bond. He declined to comment to the reporters waiting outside. Stone's agent David Styne was also not available for comment.

This is not the first time that Stone has been driving on the wrong side of the law. In 1999, he was arrested after hashish was found in his Ford Mustang. Coincidentally that arrest also took place in the vicinity of Beverley hills. The director pleaded guilty to drug possession. He also did not contest to driving under the influence of drugs and was sent to a rehabilitation program.
Oliver Stone has twice won the Best Director awards at the Oscars. In 1986 he won the award for "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July," brought him his second Oscar in 1989. He also has an Academy Award for the screenplay adaptation of "Midnight Express" in 1978. Stone is known for his explosive films such as the ultra-violent "Natural Born Killers," his conspiracy-theory-driven "JFK." He has been in the news recently for his film "Alexander", which depicts the great conqueror as a homosexual.
