In a news release issued by the California Highway Patrol, the 31-year-old star was pulled over early Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley after officers spotted him weaving across lanes on the westbound Hollywood Freeway.

CHP Officer Patrick Kimball says Klein was booked at the Lost Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys station and was later released on his own recognizance.

According to People, this is Klein's second DUI arrest.  Back in 2005, he was arrested on the same charge, but in San Diego County.  If convicted, Klein could face a minimum of four days in jail.

Klein, most notable for his role as 'Oz' in "American Pie," made his first break in the 1999 comedy, "Election."  He often hit the tabloid scene while dating Katie Holmes.  The two were in engaged, before parting ways in 2005.
