LOS ANGELES (AP) _ David Hasselhoff was arrested over the weekend on suspicion on driving while intoxicated, police said Monday.

The former ``Baywatch'' star was arrested late Saturday night on Ventura Boulevard in the Encino section of the San Fernando Valley, said Officer Sara Faden, a police spokeswoman. He was released the next morning.

No further details were immediately available.

In 2002, Hasselhoff checked himself into the Betty Ford Center for treatment of alcoholism.

The 51-year-old actor is best known for portraying lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the long-running ``Baywatch'' TV series. He also starred in the 1980s television show ``Knight Rider.''
