The actor who has become something of a sex symbol as the scruffy-faced, somewhat rumpled star of ads for the travel booking site Trivago has been arrested in Texas on a misdemeanour driving while intoxicated charge.

Court records show 52-year-old Timothy Williams was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Houston and freed on $100 bond.

Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said Friday that Williams was stopped in traffic and passed out with his foot on the brake. Silva says Williams, whosa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s from Houston, failed a field sobriety test and agreed to having blood drawn for alcohol testing. Results werensa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t immediately available.

A Trivago statement Friday says the company didnsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t have full details on the situation but treats such incidents very seriously and strongly condemns drinking and driving as a risk to others and against the Trivago culture.

Court records didnsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t list an attorney representing Williams.
