CARMEL — Monterey County prosecutors were awaiting a police report Monday to decide if criminal charges will be filed against renowned painter Thomas Kinkade, who was arrested Friday in Carmel on suspicion of drunken driving.

Kinkade, 52, the self-styled "Painter of Light," was stopped shortly after 9 p.m. by a sheriff's deputy after he left the Mission Ranch on Dolores Street, according to a Sheriff's Office spokesman.

The deputy stopped Kinkade's car, a gray 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500, near 15th Avenue and Monte Verde Street because the car didn't have a front license plate, sheriff's Cmdr. Mike Richards said.

Kinkade, a Carmel resident, was the car's only occupant.

The deputy detected the odor of alcohol on the driver and requested the assistance of a California Highway Patrol officer, Richards said.

I think Kinkade needs to add some of his 'light' to his mug shot!
