The actor Vince Vaughn has been officially charged with driving under the influence following his arrest in California in June.

The 48-year-old True Detective star was arrested at a routine DUI checkpoint in Manhattan Beach, California, just after 1am on Sunday, June 10.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office released a statement on Friday (September 7) confirming charges brought against the actor.

Vaughn is charged with three misdemeanours; one count each of driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with .08 percent blood alcohol content or higher and refusing to comply with a peace officer or to submit to an inspection.

Authorities say Vaughn repeatedly refused to get out of his car when officers asked him at the checkpoint.

This is the actor's first DUI offence.
