The actor, who played Oliver Oken on the hit Disney programme, was taken into custody in the early hours on Sunday morning after failing to slow down for police who were directing traffic in Burbank, California.

According to TMZ.com, cops detected a ""strong odour of alcohol"" permeating from the star's car. He later failed a breathalyzer test and was subsequently booked on suspicion of DUI.

The bail was set at $5,000 (£3,125).
