'Walking Dead' Star Seth Gilliam Arrested and Charged With Reckless Driving and Marijuana Possession

Seth Gilliam, who plays Father Gabriel Stokes on AMC's "The Walking Dead," was arrested Sunday for driving under the influence, possession of marijuana and speeding.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Gilliam, 46, was pulled over in Peachtree City, Ga., around 2 a.m. for driving 107 mph in a 55-mph zone. An officer reportedly smelled alcohol, and asked the actor if he had been drinking, and Gilliam admitted that he had three beers and a shot of hard liquor.

The breathalyzer test reportedly registered a 0.107 blood-alcohol content. According to the police report, the arresting officer searched the car and found a marijuana cigarette hidden in the armrest.

Gilliam was arrested, charged with DUI, drug possession and speeding, and was placed in Fayette County Jail. He was released after posting a $9,818 bond.

Gilliam's arrest comes two days after his "Wire" and "Walking Dead" co-star Chad L. Coleman was videotaped having a meltdown on the NYC subway. The actor claimed that he was set off after he overheard a passenger refer to him by using the N-word. In the video, Coleman is heard yelling at passengers, "I want to know where my humanitarians are!"

Season six of "The Walking Dead" began production on Monday in Senoia, Ga.

AMC has not commented on whether Gilliam's arrest will affect production.
