Keanu Reeves Fined After DUI Incident Resulting in Damaged Streetlight

 In a rare controversy surrounding one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars, actor Keanu Reeves has been fined heavily following a DUI (driving under the influence) incident late Monday night that resulted in damage to public property.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Reeves was pulled over around 11:45 p.m. after witnesses reported a black vehicle swerving erratically near Sunset Boulevard. Officers arrived on the scene to find Reeves’ car partially mounted on the sidewalk, with a streetlight knocked over and minor front-end damage to the vehicle.

Reeves, 60, reportedly cooperated fully with law enforcement. A field sobriety test was administered, followed by a breathalyzer test that confirmed his blood alcohol content was above the legal limit in California. No injuries were reported, and no other vehicles were involved in the incident.

In a statement issued Tuesday morning, Reeves expressed remorse for his actions:

“I made a serious mistake in judgment, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I am grateful no one was hurt, and I sincerely apologize to the community and to my fans.”

The city has issued a fine of $15,000 to cover the damage to public property, along with additional legal penalties. Reeves may also be required to complete a mandatory alcohol education program and perform community service, depending on the outcome of his upcoming court appearance scheduled for September 5.

This marks the first known legal infraction for Reeves, whose reputation in the industry has long been one of professionalism and humility. The incident has shocked many fans and industry peers, who took to social media to express both support and disappointment.

“Keanu has always been one of the good guys,” one user tweeted. “Hoping he takes this seriously and gets through it with accountability.”

Legal analyst Dana Collins weighed in, saying:

“While no one is above the law, the fact that no one was injured and he took immediate responsibility will likely weigh in his favor during sentencing.”

Reeves’ representatives confirmed that the actor has halted all public appearances temporarily and will not be attending an upcoming promotional event for his latest film.

Despite the incident, insiders say Reeves remains committed to personal accountability and has already begun taking steps to make amends, including contacting the city about additional donations to road safety initiatives.
