Christopher McDonald was arrested on Saturday night, driving his silver Porsche off the highway while intoxicated, and tried to use his celebrity status to get out of trouble with authorities.

Accord to Sheriff department records, Christopher was released from jail early Sunday morning after being cited for DUI. This is not the first time Christopher has been arrested for a drinking related incident.
