NEW YORK — “Nip/Tuck” star Dylan Walsh allegedly told police he was drinking before he got behind the wheel of his SUV and slammed into two utility poles at the Jersey Shore last week.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Walsh admitted to officers that he’d been drinking at a tavern near Sandy Hook Beach on Aug. 17 and was on his way home when he crashed his Ford Explorer, causing the airbags to deploy.

Responding officers from the Rumson Police Department said they arrived to find 61-year-old Walsh looking “very red” and “very confused.” During a subsequent search of his vehicle, they allegedly found an open cooler bag with multiple empty and open cans of White Claw Hard Seltzer.

Witnesses reportedly told police they saw Walsh’s SUV swerve into oncoming traffic before plowing into the two utility poles. At least one witness said they heard Walsh’s wife yell “get the bag out of the back seat” several times before cops arrived to the scene, according to the report.

Along with Walsh and his wife, two children and another passenger were in the SUV at the time of the crash. Rumson Police Lt. Christopher Isherwood previously said two passengers were taken to a hospital with complaints of pain in the wake of the incident, though he didn’t confirm who had been treated.

Walsh is married to Leslie Bourque-Walsh and they share daughter Amelie Belle and son Hudson Scott, though it’s unclear if they were the kids who were in the car.

Walsh has not yet been charged since evidence collected from the scene, including a blood sample, is still being processed, TMZ reported. He was, however, cited for six motor vehicle violations — having an open container of alcohol, expired registration, reckless driving, failure to keep right, unsafe lane change/failure to maintain lane and driving on a sidewalk.

The crash occurred several weeks after Walsh’s “Nip/Tuck” co-star Julian McMahon died following a private battle with cancer.
