Seth Gilliam was arrested by police for DUI, speeding and possession of marijuana on Sunday, May 3. Ironically, he is known for his priest role on "The Walking Dead" and cop on "The Wire".
The actor was pulled over in Peachtree City for driving at 107 mph in a 55 mph zone. As he was pulled over, the police claimed to smell alcohol from him.
At first, he defended himself by saying that he normally drove a Jeep and the car he was driving was a rental and was different. However, the reason was apparently deemed unjustifiable by the police.
According to the police report, when asked whether he had been drinking, he admitted to having had three beers and a shot of hard liquor. Unfortunately, he failed the sobriety test. Breathanalyzer test showed his blood alcohol level reached 0.107.
What makes it worse is the police found a joint in a cigarette box hidden in the arm rest. The police then confiscated the joint of marijuana from his car.
The actor who played Father Gabriel on "The Walking Dead" was charged for reckless driving speeding, DUI, and possession of marijuana. Seth was taken into custody and jailed in Fayette County Jail. He was later released after posting a $9,818 bond.
Unfortunately, this incident happened just a few days after his co-star Chad L. Coleman, playing Tyresse on "The Walking Dead," freaked out in an NYC train.
"The Walking Dead" season six began filming on May 4 in Senoia, Georgia. It seems that Father Gabriel will return for the upcoming season.
