Addiction and arrests

In 1998, Baldwin was found running naked through the halls of New York’s Plaza Hotel shouting “Baldwin!” and was arrested for possession of cocaine.[19] He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to three months in drug rehab. He later told People magazine that he had been battling cocaine addiction since 1989.

On April 22, 2006, Baldwin was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia[19] in a Santa Monica hotel.[20]

He was arrested again on July 19, 2006. According to the police, Baldwin ran a red light after weaving through the traffic in West L.A. just before 1 pm, then crashed his rented Ford Thunderbird into two parked cars while going 80 mph (130 km/h) in a 35 mph (56 km/h) zone.[21] Jason Lee, a spokesman for the Los Angeles police, said: “The Thunderbird pushed one of the vehicles about 20 feet (6.1 m), and that was a Hummer.” Police say Baldwin was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash. He was transferred to UCLA Medical Center with back and neck injuries but did not appear to be seriously hurt.[22]

On November 7, 2006, Baldwin was arrested in Santa Monica, California, after allegedly stealing a white GMC Yukon SUV. The actor was taken to jail and booked for investigation of Grand Theft Auto; bail was set at $20,000. “The car belongs to an acquaintance of Mr. Baldwin, but he had no permission to take it”, said Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.[23][24] The charges were subsequently dropped.

On February 6, 2007, an arrest warrant was issued for Baldwin in Newport Beach, California, by the Orange County Superior Court for his failure to show up for an arraignment stemming from an auto-theft charge.[25]

Baldwin starred on the VH1 reality television show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, filmed in 2007, but left the show after the fourth episode. His stated reasons for leaving included having a prior commitment to an acting job and the others’ behavior interfering with his recovery. It was eventually reported that he left because of inappropriate text messages he had sent to Mary Carey, a fellow patient in his treatment group.[26][27]
