The actor who portrayed Lt. Col. Oliver North in the TV miniseries “Guts and Glory” was arrested Sunday on suspicion of felony drunken driving after hitting another car, authorities said. David Keith, 35, was free on $2,500 bail after his 1988 Mustang collided with a BMW making a U-turn in the 8400 block of Sunset Boulevard, said a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman. Keith was allegedly speeding when his car struck the BMW about midnight Sunday and injured a woman riding in the other car, authorities said. The woman passenger, whose name was not released, was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for neck pain. Keith and an unidentified woman traveling with him were uninjured. Keith, whose tested blood alcohol level exceeded .18 percent, was booked for felony drunken driving because of the speeding and the injury, sheriffs’ officials said.
