Rome News Tribune (November 9th, 1993)
CONYERS (AP) -- Howard Rollins, co-star of television's "In the Heat of the Night," is out of jail again. A friend posted $10,000 bond Monday for Rollins, who had been in jail since his arrest Saturday on a charge of driving under the influence.
The 42-year-old actor was arrested after his car was seen weaving in traffic, Police Chief Roland Vaughn said. It was his fifth arrest in a year and a half for allegedly driving drunk, recklessly or too fast.
Rollins plays lawyer and former policeman Virgil Tibbs in the TV series, which is filmed in nearby Covington.
