BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — John Stamos — the Hollywood heartthrob known for his roles on “Full House” and “ER”– was pulled over in Beverly Hills, California, and then taken to a nearby hospital — where he was arrested for having allegedly driven under the influence, police said.

Police got involved after getting numerous calls about a possible drunken driver, Beverly Hills police Sgt. David Armour said.

The 51-year-old actor — the only person in his vehicle — was pulled over, after which he showed officers his driver’s license and identified himself verbally. Paramedics transported him to an area hospital due to a possible medical condition, according to Armour.

Once at the hospital, authorities came to the conclusion that he’d been driving under the influence and arrested him, the police sergeant said.

Stamos was given a citation for DUI and released to the care of the hospital.

According to Armour, Stamos is set to appear in court September 11 in connection with the incident.

The actor tweeted Saturday: “Thanks to everyone for their love & support. I’m home & well. Very appreciative of the BHPD & Cedars (hospital) for their care.”
