At least he wasn't packing heat like his "Deadwood" character.....

Jackson police arrested television actor Austin Nichols early this morning on suspicion of drunken driving and lodged him in the Jackson County Jail.
Nichols, who appeared in the HBO series "Deadwood" and stars as John in the current "John From Cincinnati," has been living at Clark Lake this summer. Extended family members live at the lake.
Lt. Aaron Kantor said a city police officer stopped Nichols' car on N. Jackson Street at Louis Glick Highway at 2:30 a.m.
The 27-year-old actor was administered a breath test at the scene and hauled to jail.
Kantor said a blood-alcohol content measurement was not available yet this morning.
According to an HBO Web site, Nichols was born and raised in Austin, Texas, and moved to Los Angeles to study acting.
Among his TV credits are "Six Feet Under" and "Pasadena." He was once ranked third in the world in competitive waterskiing, and won the Pan American championship in 1997.
