At the time of the incident, the Beverly Hills police said they received calls around 7:45 p.m. on June 10 reporting a possible drunken driver. Officers later stopped Stamos, who was the only person in the vehicle.

At the hospital it was determined by police that Stamos had been driving under influence, and he was arrested. Police cited him for DUI and released him to the care of the hospital.
Shortly after his release and the incident was reported, John took to his Twitter to post: 'Thanks to everyone for their love & support. I'm home & well,' Stamos tweeted late Saturday morning. 'Very appreciative of the BHPD & Cedars for their care.'
Ironically, the They Came Together hunk had tweeted: 'A s***-ton of moderation is the key to life' just four days prior to his DUI.
Less than a month later in July, Dailymail.com confirmed that Stamos entered a treatment programme for substance abuse. He successfully completed the 30-day live-in treatment.
