Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart.

Police pulled over the “Caddyshack” star early Monday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol.

“He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation,” said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund.

“So we applied the old method – a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.”

A very high alcohol level could lead to jail time, but Holmlund said fines were more likely.

“There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy,” he said.

Murray, 56, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

The golf cart had been on display outside the downtown hotel where Murray and other VIPs attending the Scandinavian Masters golf tournament were staying.

Murray apparently drove the golf cart to the trendy Cafe Opera nightclub, less than a mile away and was pulled over on his way back.

Foxy in the coop

Authorities said Brown also skipped her anger-management classes. She was ordered to jail until her next hearing Sept. 7.

Her attorney argued she was turning her life around and said she’s three-months pregnant.

‘Sex Machine,’ indeed

A third person has proven through DNA testing to be a child of the late James Brown.
