The Los Angeles City Attorney has finally charged Michael Madsen with two counts of misdemeanor after his DUI (driving under the influence) arrest last September.

As previously reported, the ‘Reservoir Dogs’ star was arrested in Malibu, Los Angeles, California last September for driving dangerously and having a .20 reading on his breathalyzer test, which is more than twice the legal limit.

Consequently, last Wednesday, the LA County attorney filed two counts of misdemeanor against Madsen, one for driving under the influence of intoxicating substance and another for driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher, according to a report obtained by media sources.

Meanwhile, Madsen is set to appear in court later this month where he could defend himself since his party has already denied the accusations set against him. In fact, his attorney recently declared that the breathalyzer test was flawed.

Most probably, if convicted, Madsen could face up to two years imprisonment. Nevertheless, it is his first DUI offense and his prior records show no DUI convictions. Therefore, is more likely that he would not serve any jail time.

Apparently, Madsen was arrested just last March on felony charges of child endangerment with cruelty to a child. It was after a heated argument with one of his sons at his Malibu home, which he shared with his wife and their three sons.  Nevertheless, the case did not pursue due to insufficient evidence.

Meanwhile, a car accident attorney in Los Angeles commented that Madsen is still fortunate since no one got injured or killed from his reckless driving because if he did, he could have been spending most of his life behind bars.
