LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles prosecutors say they have charged "American Pie" actor Chris Klein with drunken driving.
City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan (Mah-TEHL'-jin) says Klein faces two misdemeanor driving under the influence charges and will be arraigned July 9.
Mateljan says Klein faces a minimum of three days in jail and up to a year sentence if convicted because of a prior drunken driving case.
Klein played the character of Chris "Oz" Ostreicher in 1999's "American Pie" and in the 2001 sequel. He was also featured in the 1999 film "Election."
A phone message left for Klein's manager, Cynthia Pette-Dante, was not immediately returned.
The California Highway Patrol arrested Klein on June 16 after he was spotted weaving across a highway in the San Fernando Valley.
