But production bosses have decided not to wait for the case's outcome and have already fired Madsen from the cast, according to TMZ sources.
The actor, who has appeared in several Quentin Tarantino movies such as Kill Bill, allegedly stank of alcohol and failed a sobriety test after his crash on March 24.
His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.10, 0.2 over the legal limit of 0.8, and he was released the following day after posting $15,000 bail.
This latest drink driving charge, issued by Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, comes seven years after Madsen was arrested for the same crime and blew a 0.21 blood alcohol percentage.

However, his most recent charge could see him behind bars for 364 days if he is found guilty.
Executives on Chronicle Of A Serial Killer, which will star Tara Reid and James Russo, have pressed ahead with scrapping Madsen from the film.
