Anderson allegedly tried to buy beer there but was rebuffed by a store clerk, who told police he could smell alcohol on Anderson's breath and believed him to be already drunk. Anderson allegedly became angry at the clerk, who ran out of the store in fear that Anderson might hurt him.
A bystander saw the commotion and called 911 as Anderson allegedly got back into his car and began driving away, police said late last month. Anderson's car was curbed by police a few minutes later, said Michael Bialys, Los Angeles DUI lawyer.
Anderson in that matter was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with an alcohol concentration level of .08 or more, disorderly conduct and failure to signal a turn, court records indicated. He is scheduled to appear Aug. 18 in court in that case.
