Actor Mickey Rourke is speaking out about his latest brush with the law during which he was charged with driving under the influence on his pastel-colored Vespa scooter, according to a report in the Palm Beach Post.

The Hollywood actor admitted to breaking the law, but — in describing the Miami Beach incident to the newspaper — denied he was drunk that November morning: "I did a left U-turn at a red light, but I wasn't drunk," he said.

Rourke has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of reckless driving and will take an online driving course in addition to paying a fine, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Still, the actor had harsh words for the arresting officer, telling the newspaper the man was overweight and "unfit for duty."
