TMZ has learned Nick Nolte’s son was arrested for suspicion of DUI and possession of a controlled substance yesterday in Santa Monica.

Law enforcement sources tell us Brawley King Nolte — who starred as the kidnapped son in “Ransom” back in the day — struck another vehicle while making a lane change yesterday afternoon.

When cops arrived, we’re told the 23-year-old showed signs of impairment, so cops conducted field sobriety tests and eventually arrested him. Nolte’s bail was set at $5,000.

Nick was arrested for DUI back in 2002.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Comedian and radio personality Artie Lange has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of a habit-producing drug in a minor traffic accident in New Jersey.

The 41-year-old Lange was charged following the July 10 accident in Toms River, about 40 miles southeast of Trenton. He entered his plea Wednesday in municipal court.

Judge James Ligouri revoked his driving privileges for seven months.

Lange, a regular on radio’s “Howard Stern Show,” said he was under the influence of prescribed sleeping pills, which he had last taken the night before the crash.

Mel Gibson Wants DUI Erased from His Record

Mel Gibson is seeking to put his ugly 2006 DUI incident behind him – for good.

In a routine legal move, his lawyer, Blair Berk, has asked a court to dismiss his drunk driving conviction since Gibson, 53, has successfully met the terms of his three-year probation, which included alcohol education classes, AA meetings and paying fines.

Berk wasn’t immediately available for comment.

“All this means is that Gibson’s been staying out of trouble and it’ll likely be approved by the court,” says L.A. criminal defense attorney Anthony Salerno, who’s not involved with the case.

“An arrest like this never fully disappears from one’s record, but getting a dismissal helps in practical situations like crossing into Canada,” Salerno added.

A hearing in the matter is set for Oct. 6.

SANTA ANA, Calif.—Former Oakland Athletics All-Star pitcher Matt Keough has been charged with driving drunk near his Orange County home.

The district attorney’s office announced Monday the 54-year-old faces two felony counts.

Authorities claim he had a blood-alcohol level of .30 when he allegedly ran a stop sign, ignored a sheriff’s deputy and drove to his home last month.

A phone listing could not be found for Keough and prosecutors did not know whether he had an attorney.

In 2005, Keough pleaded guilty to drunken driving after a crash. Last year, he got 180 days in jail for violating parole terms.

Keough pitched for the Athletics from 1977-83, making the 1978 All-Star team. He later played with the New York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros.
