NEW YORK — The 21-year-old daughter of actor Al Pacino has been arrested on a drunken driving charge in New York City.

Police say Julie Pacino was stopped at a traffic checkpoint on West Houston (HOW'-ston) Street in Manhattan at 1:05 a.m. Saturday.

Police say Pacino's blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit for driving. Her exact blood-alcohol level was not immediately available.

Pacino is being held at the Manhattan Detention Complex pending arraignment. No information on an attorney was immediately available.

Julie Pacino is Al Pacino's daughter with acting coach Jan Tarrant. An agent for the actor didn't immediately return an email seeking comment.

Julie Pacino graduated from Tappan Zee High School in suburban Rockland County in 2007 and went on to the University of California at Los Angeles. She was a softball standout at both schools.

Getting pulled over is like the lottery, money going the other way though. I truly wonder how many people are operating a motor vehicle doing legal pain killers like Oxycontin that are ten times deadlier than alcohol. Even though it's against the law to operate a motor vehicle taking them. No test for them though.

    She's 21 old enough to take responsibility for her own choices. Paparazzi should leave Al alone about this, but of course they won't.
