John Stamos has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs, Los Angeles prosecutors have announced.

The actor, best known for his roles in Full House and ER, was arrested in June after residents contacted police over concerns he was behaving strangely and driving erratically.

The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Stamos is due to appear in court for a hearing on Friday.

He faces a maximum six-month jail sentence if convicted.
