Yeah, felony DUI. I didn't even recognize him!

David has had a rough life and his alcoholism may have a genetic source. He had a lot of needed adulation as a teen heartthrob and then semi-obscurity. I think his strained relationship with his dad set him up for the child-star syndrome even though he achieved fame as a teen his emotions may have remained very immature due to his dad's lack of appreciation. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia of Jack's personality who died at age 49.

David Cassidy wrote that he became increasingly concerned about his father in the last years of his life. Jack Cassidy suffered from bipolar disorder and was an alcoholic, who was displaying increasingly erratic behavior. In 1974, his neighbors were shocked to see him watering his front lawn naked in the middle of the afternoon.[4] Shirley Jones described a similar incident when she found him sitting naked in a corner, reading a book. Jones said to Cassidy that they had to get ready to do a show, and he calmly looked up and said, "I know now that I'm Christ".[5]
In December 1974, he was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility for 48 hours.[6] At that time, Jones found out that he had been previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[7] In his autobiography, Cassidy's eldest son David wrote about his father's bisexuality, citing attributed personal accounts and reports, both anecdotal and published, of his father's same-sex affairs, a fact neither he or his siblings discovered until after Cassidy's death. In her 2013 memoir, Shirley Jones confirms that Cassidy had many same-sex affairs, including one with Cole Porter.
