Cassidy Pleads Not Guilty to DUI

Former teen idol David Cassidy has pleaded not guilty to a Dui charge stemming from his arrest in Florida earlier this month (03Nov10).

The former Partridge Family star was driving along the state's famous Turnpike freeway when cops in Fort Pierce spotted his Mercedes swerving erratically and pulled over the vehicle.

The 60-year-old actorsinger allegedly failed two roadside sobriety tests, but a representative for the star subsequently denied Cassidy was drunk behind the wheel.

The star's lawyers appeared in a Florida court on Tuesday morning (30Nov10) to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf.

The plea was submitted in writing and Cassidy was not in attendance, according to Tmz.com.

Cassidy faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 (£667) fine if convicted on the driving under the influence charge.

He is due back in court in January (11).
