Police: "Superman" arrested for DWI
SHELBY - Police say "Superman" was nervous, glassy-eyed and had slurred speech Sunday, but it wasn't because of Kryptonite.
Officials charged Christopher Lee Reeves, 22, nicknamed "Superman" according to his arrest report, with impaired driving DWI, open container of alcohol and violation of seat belt law over the weekend.
According to a report by Shelby Police Officer B.G. Travis, Reeves' trial date is Jan. 30 and his bond was set at $500 unsecured.
Reeves was "nervous, (had) red glassy eyes, (and a) strong odor of alcohol coming from vehicle," Travis wrote.
The late actor Christopher Reeve played the role of Superman in several movies during the 1970s and 80s.
The Star previously reported that Reeves, of Hidden Creek Drive, was arrested in September and charged with felonious second-degree arson and breaking and entering, according to Shelby Police reports.
