Actor Anthony Mackie, known for his role in "Brother to Brother", has been arrested on suspicion for drunk driving after he refused to take a blood-alcohol test here.

Mackie was arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The 35-year-old was initially stopped by police at around 1.30 a.m. for driving his car with tinted windows, which is illegal in the state.

However, the cops soon began to suspect he might be under the influence of alcohol as he exhibited "bloodshot, watery eyes" and they smelt alcohol on his breath, reports tmz.com.

Mackie failed several sobriety tests on the scene, before being taken to the police station on 28th Precinct in Central Harlem, where he refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test.
