Update: Bill Murray was actually the golf cart's designated driver

Let me be the first blogger to officially apologize to Sneden’s Landing’s Bill Murray for jumping to the conclusion that he was driving a golf cart under the influence in Stockholm. As Murray explained to the AP, the Swedish po-po jumped the gun and “assumed that I was drunk.” The pigs still insisted on giving him a breathalyser. And when Murray refused that, a blood test.
The full story, in Murray’s words, is after the break.
“I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time and as the last couple were getting out, who wished to be dropped off at a 7-Eleven. … I didn’t know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm.”
When the cops picked him up, he said, “I explained to them that I was a golfer.” Which probably explains the whole mix-up. It’s well known that everyone in Scandinavia loves “What About Bob?” and if only he’d pulled an “I’m a sailor! I’m sailing!” all would have been forgiven.
