    'Star Trek' actor Brooks charged with DUI in Conn.

    WILTON, Conn. (AP) — A lead actor on the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" television series has been charged with driving under the influence in Connecticut.

    Avery Brooks is set to be arraigned in state court in Norwalk next week in connection with his arrest last weekend in Wilton, a wealthy suburb about 50 miles northeast of Manhattan. He played Capt. Benjamin Sisko on the 1990s "Star Trek" series and had the role of Hawk on "Spenser: For Hire" in the 1980s.

    Local police say they pulled over the 63-year-old Princeton, N.J., resident shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday after receiving a complaint about his driving.

    It's not clear if Avery has a lawyer. He's due in court on Feb. 9.

      Now we know why they posted him to a space station and not to a star ship!

      On a serious note, I hope you get the treatment you need and move past this. I enjoyed your work on DS9 and wish you the best.

        yeah, and I bet he had to pay full price too. the Ferengi people wouldn't even give their own mothers a discount.

        Family discount? "Exploitation begins at home."

      As a recovering drunk, if I had gotten popped every time I needed a DUI, I'd probably have more than 17 yrs sober by now. Hope the guy gets help if he needs it - the memory of my own jackassness still wakes me up in the night...*shudder*. Thanks God I never hurt anyone but me!

      Quark should have taken the keys to his shuttle.
    • A Yahoo! user  •  New York, New York  •  3 mths ago
      If he could have just made it to the worm hole...
    • William  •  Denver, Colorado  •  3 mths ago
      The emissary, Captain Sisko, was given too many libations in the Celestial Temple.
    • Bob  •  Seattle, Washington  •  3 mths ago
      This is very disturbing behavior for any star fleet officer.
    • Restore The Sanity  •  3 mths ago
      Not Sisko, he's the emissary. What would the wormhole aliens think.
    • Number Six  •  3 mths ago
      He was set up by the Feringi. They are behind the The New Universe Order. But we give them aid because they are vital to the peace in that quadrant of space.
    • Nae  •  Huntington, New York  •  3 mths ago
      He was probably speeding in a vintage corvette and was pulled over by a cop on a hover bike.
    • Mark  •  3 mths ago
      I refuse to believe it. Somebody probably slipped him something at Quark's.
    • Reynoe  •  Union, Washington  •  3 mths ago
      It was probably the Mirror-Sisko
    • Mack  •  3 mths ago
      There's a reason why Romulan Ale has been banned on most planets in the Alpha Quadrant.
    • B Lang  •  Media, Pennsylvania  •  3 mths ago
      I wonder how many other people got arrested for DUI and didn't get a Yahoo article. Sucks to be famous sometimes.

      Even Captain Sisko isn't perfect
