Well, the song DID say...

...he'd been in trouble with the law since the day he and his brother were born:

'Dukes of Hazzard' actor Wopat charged

RINGWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Tom Wopat, who played Luke Duke on the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard," faces a drunken driving charge in northern New Jersey, authorities said Friday.

Wopat was arrested in Ringwood and charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, said Bill Maer, a spokesman for the Passaic County sheriff's department.

He was pulled from a Ford Bronco Wednesday night after hitting orange traffic cones and nearly striking a Ringwood police car sent to an accident, Maer said. [...]

Boss Hogg could not be reached for comment. Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrain simply stated, "GYUGggigigig!"

And yes, this is as good an excuse as any to call Daisy on the CB and see if she can bring the bail money.
