Veteran ABC newsman and political correspondent Sam Donaldson was arrested for DUI in Delaware after driving off the shoulder of the road.
The incident happened on the night of Dec. 1 after the 78-year-old was pulled over for a traffic violation by the Lewes Police Department.
The newsman, who was apparently "very cooperative," subsequently failed a field sobriety test and was booked for driving under the influence.
Donaldson, who currently appears on Sunday-morning news show "This Week" and contributes to ABC News Radio, has managed to keep the incident under wraps -- until now.
Donaldson is scheduled for a court appearance at a later date.
