If Michael Madsen wanted to see a doctor, this wasn't the way to go about it. The "Reservoir Dogs" star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence this afternoon and subsequently hospitalized after complaining to authorities that he was sick, L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore confirms to E! News.
According to Whitmore, Madsen was pulled over by sheriff's deputies after they received a call at around 2:50 p.m. about a GTO with red flames on the side weaving in and out of traffic on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway.
