Waters’ ex charged with DUI

-

THE Hamptons summer hullabaloo has started a little early this year, it seems.

Page Six has learned that Laurie Durning, the glamorous ex-wife of Pink Floyd star

Roger Waters, had a touch too much rosé on Friday night and ended up spending the evening with the local police.

We hear that Durning had drinks with pals at the American Hotel on Main Street in Sag Harbor at 6 p.m., but got pulled over during the short drive back to her house because the lights on her Mercedes were out.

We’re told that during the routine traff ic stop, Durning ended up getting arrested for driving under the influence.

Sources close to Durning say she had about three glasses of rosé before her unfortunat­e brush with the cops. “I was with her having a glass of wine,” pal

Anna Rothschild — who was in the car with Durning — told Page Six when we reached her for comment. “We left and, as we all know, when you turn on a Mercedes, the headlights go on automatica­lly.”

She further explained, “They didn’t go on, but it’s impossible to know when you’re driving down Main Street because the [street] lights are so bright.”

Rothschild added that “the police followed [Durning] only because her headlights weren’t on; they pulled her over only because of that,” and “I didn’t witness her being intoxicate­d in the least.”

Filmmaker and occasional actress Durning was the talk of the town in 2015 during her memorable divorce from Waters.

Durning colorfully called the “Comfortabl­y Numb” rocker “an a - - hole” in court during a standoff over who was going to get to keep her $35,000 gold Rolex Daytona.

As Page Six first reported in September 2015, Waters and Durning — who married in 2012 — split after 10 years together. He filed for divorce in October 2015. The marriage was Waters’ fourth.
