Desperate Housewives actor arrested

Los Angeles - The Desperate Housewives actor who plays Eva Longoria's on-screen husband was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of drunken driving, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Ricardo Chavira, 39, was pulled over in the San Fernando Valley not far from where the long-running domestic comedy-drama is filmed, and later released on $25 000 (approximately R166 000) bail.

Chavira, the son of a Texas judge, co-stars on Desperate Housewives as Carlos Solis, a businessman married to high-maintenance former model Gabrielle, played by Longoria.
