"Sarah Connor Chronicles" Actor Charged With DUI

(Los Angeles, CA) -- Thomas Dekker, the actor who starred in the Fox "Terminator" TV spinoff "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," is facing drunken driving charges. E! News reports that Dekker has been charged with two misdemeanor charges of driving while drunk, stemming from an October 14th accident involving a teenage biker in the San Fernando Valley. The 21-year-old apparently lost control of his vehicle and knocked over the 17-year-old bicycle rider while driving near a freeway on-ramp. He was initially booked on suspicion of felony DUI and causing bodily harm. A Los Angeles city attorney says Dekker won't be facing the more serious charges because prosecutors felt the DUI charges, quote, "were the most appropriate." Dekker is free on 100-thousand-dollars bail. He will enter a plea at an arraignment scheduled for Friday in Van Nuys Superior Court.<
