Nip/Tuck actor Dylan Walsh admitted he had been drinking before crashing his SUV in New Jersey, according to police. Officers found open alcohol containers in the vehicle, a police report obtained by TMZ said. Rumson police said Walsh’s Ford Explorer slammed into two utility poles on Aug. 17 after allegedly swerving into oncoming traffic. When officers arrived, they reported finding “an open cooler bag containing multiple empty and open White Claw Hard Seltzer cans” in the car. A witness told police they heard Walsh’s wife yelling “get the bag out of the back seat” before officers got there, the report states. Walsh, 61, told police he had been at the Mule Barn Tavern in Sandy Hook before the crash and was driving home from the beach. Officers described him as “very red” and said he “looked very confused” at the scene. His wife, two children, and another passenger were in the SUV, according to the documents. The actor agreed to provide a blood sample but has not been charged with DUI as results are still pending. He was cited for six motor vehicle violations, including reckless driving, open container of alcohol, and unsafe lane change. Photos published by TMZ show Walsh’s mangled SUV with deployed airbags next to a utility pole.
