John Stamos was reportedly busted for DUI while in Beverly Hills on Friday night.

The 51-year-old actor was the only person in his vehicle when police officers stopped him following reports of a suspected drunk driver.

Because of worries that the two-time Emmy nominee might be suffering from a medical condition, law enforcement called an ambulance to take him to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.
