Joyce DeWitt, a star on the 1970s hit "Three's Company," was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in El Segundo, police said today.
DeWitt, 60, of Santa Fe, N.M. was arrested at 4:19 p.m. July 4 at Pine Avenue and Sierra Street when she drove around a barricade to keep cars away from the annual fireworks show, El Segundo police Sgt. Dan Kim said.

Witnesses said DeWitt pulled up in a black sports car, parked, and staggered toward a police officer standing in uniform next to his motorcycle.
She slurred, "Where the hell is East Oak Street?" a witness said.
An officer asked how much she had to drink and she said, "Just one." She then reached into her car, pulled out a plastic container and began drinking from it.
It was unclear what was inside.
An officer "observed signs of possible alcohol intoxication," Kim said.
DeWitt, who played Janet Wood from 1976 to 1984, failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the El Segundo jail. She was cited and released at 1:20 a.m. Sunday.
DeWitt took a breath test, but the result was not available.
DeWitt starred with John Ritter as Jack Tripper, and Suzanne Somers as Chrissy Snow on the popular situation comedy.
Ritter's character feigned being gay so he could live with DeWitt's and Somers' characters.
The District Attorney's Office will review the case and determine whether to file charges.

That's hilarious! I can almost hear the laugh track when she says "Just one", and reaches into the car to get her drink. Oddly, she did come up as one of my guesses as the 3rd person who'd die on the day MJ and Farrah died.
Speaking of funny drunk drivers, the other day my friend saw some rich lady driving down the street drinking a glass of wine. In a long-stemmed glass! There's a traffic stop I'd like to have seen.
