LOS ANGELES

Michael Madsen has been released from a hospital after being arrested for investigation of drunken driving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

Madsen’s attorney Perry Wander said Thursday that the “Reservoir Dogs” actor had complained of an undisclosed medical problem but has been released.

Authorities say Madsen was arrested Wednesday after driving erratically in a Pontiac GTO. Investigators say in a preliminary test Madsen had a blood-alcohol level of .21 percent, more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent.

Wander said Madsen had been taking prescription medication that could have caused him to fail the sobriety test.
