Former TV presenter Andrew O’Keefe has been arrested for drug-impaired driving, just weeks after he was allegedly caught driving with a suspended licence.
Officers from the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command reportedly stopped the 52-year-old man at around 11.45am on Sunday, where he was found behind the wheel of a Mercedes sedan on Cranbrook Road in the affluent Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill.
He was later arrested and tested positive for drugs on the road.
Police allege O’Keefe had threatened a man at an address on Longworth Ave in the neighbouring suburb of Point Piper “a short time” before officers stopped him.
The former Deal or No Deal presenter was taken to Waverley Police Station where he is assisting police with inquiries.
He has not yet been charged and police will continue their investigations.
Sunday’s arrest comes after O’Keefe was issued a court attendance notice for driving with a suspended license on June 20, following a vehicle stop in Bellevue Hill.

In January, he was also convicted of a domestic violence charge dating back to September 2021, where he kicked and spit on a woman.
He was found guilty of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two counts of possession of a prohibited drug and contravening an apprehended violence order, but avoided jail and was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order and three 18-month community corrections orders for the domestic violence offences.
