Sweden: prostitution = legal. Drunken golf cart driving = illegal.



In bizarre news of the day, Bill Murray was arrested in Sweden on Sunday on suspicion of drunk driving. His vehicle? A golf cart.

Murray, while attending a golf tournament, was stopped by police (presumably on foot) early Sunday and he was arrested after he refused to take a breathalyzer test (citing American legislation) after the officer smelled alcohol on his breath. A blood test was performed and the results will take 14 days to come in (presumably because the results are transported via golf cart). He then signed a document admitting driving under the influence and permitted a police officer to enter a guilty plea on his behalf if the case goes to court. He will be charged only if his blood alcohol level is determined to be higher than the legal limit. If it is "excessively high, he may even face a prison sentence.

The officer also isn't sure who owns the golf cart. In addition, authorities are also investigating the circumstances surrounding a prank in which what was later determined to be a Snickers bar was discovered in a nearby swimming pool.

Bill insists he was framed by this guy:

Prostitution isn't legal in Sweden, you thinking about Holland.
