1 February 2008 - 10:22MOUSE’S TAIL SENT TO JAIL

Forget Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan: Mickey Mouse — or someone borrowing the celebrity Disney character’s name — has been arrested for DUI in Sacramento, California.

Arrest records indicate that within an hour last Thursday, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department arrested one “Mickey Mouse” twice on charges of driving under the influence and once for driving on a revoked license.

Department spokesman Sgt. Tim Curran expressed surprise to hear that Mickey had been placed in custody.

“I don’t know how that got in there,” Wednesday’s Sacramento Bee quoted Curran as saying. “When trainees learn to use our system, they put that (name) in…. It’s one of the names we can use without getting in trouble.”

Arrest records describe the rodent as an Anaheim, California resident who works as a bartender.

The arrest log further describes Mouse as a 47-year-old African-American male who’s 5′9″ tall and weighs 190 pounds.

Mouse has used the aliases “Buzz Lightyear” and “Donnie Duck,” jail records state. He’s known to police, having been arrested in 2005 on felony drunk driving charges.
