Miguel Arrested for DUI in L.A.

Singer was held for a few hours, then released on bail.

Miguel was arrested on suspicion of DUI early this morning, TMZ reports. California Highway Patrol pulled the "Adorn" singer's 2013 BMW X6 over at around 2:15 a.m. for dark window tints.

Miguel reportedly smelled of alcohol when officers approached the vehicle, prompting authorities to administer various field sobriety tests, all of which he failed.

The 27-year-old, born Miguel Jontel Pimentel, blew a .10  and .11 on the breathalyzer, well above the state's .08 limit. He was taken into custody, booked and released on $5,000 bail, hours later.

A court date is scheduled for September.

At press time, a rep for the Grammy winner did not respond to BET.com's request for comment.
