Eighties wrestling star "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is accused of getting a little rowdy behind the wheel, as the 55-year-old wrestling star was arrested by Los Angeles police Thursday at 1 AM on misdemeanor DUI charges.

Piper, whose real name is Roderick Toombs, is being held on $5,000 bail at a jail in the Hollywood division.

Piper, who cut his teeth wrestling in the Los Angeles territory in the early 70s, played the villain to heroic Hulk Hogan during the 80s wrestling boom.
