Actor-comedian Paul Rodriguez was facing a possible drug possession charge Friday following his arrest in Burbank.
The 70-year-old was arrested about 8:50 p.m. Monday by Burbank police, according to the sheriff’s online jail records. He was cited and released Tuesday morning.
According to a broadcast report, a witness called police to say Rodriguez and a woman appeared to be intoxicated as they left an area restaurant. Police arrested both after locating them in a car inside a parking structure and finding what was believed to be fentanyl in the woman’s purse.
Rodriguez was previously arrested in March in Burbank, again on suspicion of drug possession, when a vehicle in which Rodriguez was a passenger was stopped for a code violation, and a subsequent search turned up narcotics, Burbank Police Department officials told multiple media outlets.
In addition to his more than 30-year career as a stand-up comedian — often doing routines in both English and Spanish — Rodriguez has appeared in more than 40 films, including “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” in 2008 and 2002’s “Blood Work” with Clint Eastwood, along with numerous TV shows and specials.
The Mexico native, who was raised in Los Angeles, is also noted for his charitable work, including participating for more than 30 years in the annual free Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for the underprivileged at Hollywood’s Laugh Factory.
In 1992, he received the Ruben Salazar Award for Communications from UnidosUS — the nation’s largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization — which recognizes an individual who has “dedicated his or her life to promoting accurate and positive portrayals of Hispanic historical, political, economic, and cultural contributions to American society.”
