‘The Walking Dead’ Star Arrested for DUI

Scott Wilson, who plays alcoholic farmer Hershel Greene on "The Walking Dead," registered nearly twice the legal limit, police say

Forget "The Walking Dead" — the Driving Bombed might be the bigger danger.

"Walking Dead" actor Scott Wilson, who plays alcoholic farmer Hershel Greene on AMC's hit zombie drama, is facing DUI charges after being arrested last week, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Wilson, 70, was pulled over at 2 a.m. on Aug. 18 by Peachtree City, Ga., police after they observed his black PT Cruiser traveling at about 70 miles per hour — "well above the posted speed limit" for the area, according to officials. Police also noted that his car "swerved back and forth" several times.
