Joyce DeWitt is in trouble with da law.

The actress only best known for playing third fiddle to John Ritter and Suzanne Somers on Three's Company has been rung up by SoCal cops for apparently a little too much prefireworks celebrating on the Fourth.

DeWitt was busted Saturday around 4:30 p.m. on suspicion of DUI, El Segundo Police Sgt. Dean Howard tells E! News.

"An officer saw DeWitt drive a vehicle past a barricade intended to control vehicular traffic near a park," says Howard. "As the officer spoke with DeWitt, he observed signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication."

DeWitt, 60, whiffed a series of field sobriety test and was hauled away to the station for booking.
