Los Angeles, CA

Veteran actress Joyce Dewitt has been hit with two charges of driving under the influence following her arrest in her native California earlier this year.

The 60 year old, best known for her role as Janet Wood on hit 1980s TV show Three's Company, was arrested in El Segundo on July 4 after driving past a traffic barricade.

The actress was taken into police custody after reportedly failing field sobriety tests and was later released on $5,000 bail.

A complaint filed on Tuesday by the Los Angeles County District Attorney shows she had been driving with a blood alcohol level of .15 - twice the state's legal limit.

She has been charged with one count of driving under the influence and one count of driving while having a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, reports TMZ.com.
