Drake Bell Arrested on Suspicion of DUI

Drake Bell found himself on the wrong side of the law early Monday morning after he was arrested in Glendale, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence, E! News has learned. Bell starred on Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh" from 2004 to 2007.

The Los Angeles Times first reported the incident, adding that the 29-year-old was stopped by police around 2:20 a.m. after authorities allegedly witnessed him driving erratically.

According to Glendale Police spokeswoman Tahnee Lightfoot, Bell was allegedly "swerving and speeding after abruptly stopping at a red light."

Lightfoot added that the officer who pulled Bell over noticed a smell of alcohol coming from his car, before the actor and singer reportedly failed a field sobriety test.

No further details have been released regarding the California native's arrest except that he was given a citation and that the local authorities will be presenting the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office when the investigation is completed. A mugshot was not available.

Bell most recently announced a series of concerts in Mexico beginning on Feb. 5, 2016. The singer shared the good news with fans that his tour dates were sold out just minutes after going on sale.

There is no word yet on whether his most recent run-in will have any effect on his upcoming tour.
