The showbiz patriarch - who is the father-and-manager of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson - was arrested on August 4 in California and the Los Angeles City Attorney has now filed two misdemeanor counts of DUI against him, which carry a maximum sentence of six months in prison. If convicted of both counts, Joe - who blew .12 on a breathalyzer test, .04 higher than the legal limit - could also face up to 36 months probation and a $1,000 fine.
Joe's case is scheduled to go before a judge later this month.
Joe was stopped by officers on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, at around 10pm on August 4 and the police thought he was intoxicated so arrested him. He was booked and spent the rest of the night in a cell. He was released at 9:41am the following day and did not have to post bail.

The 43-year-old singer - who was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in March - is receiving treatment for addiction problems and his wife Alicia Etheredge says he is doing well. Confirming he has gone to rehab, she added to RadarOnline.com, "He's doing great."
Alicia - who married the New Edition star two months ago - refused to say exactly what Bobby is being treated for, but sources told the gossip website he is seeking help for alcohol addiction. It is unclear where the star is receiving treatment.
The news comes after the "Two Can Play That Game" hitmaker recently insisted he didn't introduce ex-wife Whitney Houston - who died in February after suffering a heart attack partly brought on by her cocaine abuse - to drugs and felt "hurt" by such claims as he has been sober for a long time.

The 54-year-old showbiz patriarch - the father-and-manager of Jessica and Ashlee Simpson - was stopped by officers on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, at around 10pm on August 4 and the police thought he was intoxicated so arrested him. Joe was booked and spent the rest of the night in a cell. He was released at 9:41am the following day and did not have to post bail.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, the case has not yet been sent to prosecutors in the Los Angeles City Attorney's office yet. However, if criminal charges are filed, Joe is unlikely to receive any jail time as it is his first offense so he would probably just receive a fine.

However the star, who has openly battled an addiction to alcohol, wants her fans and friends to know she appreciates their concern. "I would like to thank all my fans as well as my friends from the Hollywood community for the heartwarming calls and emails about those unfortunate and dramatic pictures. Looking at the pictures I can understand the level of worrying, but I can assure everyone that there is no cause for alarm. I have been on the road working non-stop for such a long time, fulfilling my professional commitments, shooting shows around the world with all the pressure that comes with it," she said.
The 49-year-old actress was pictured over the weekend drinking directly from a bottle of Popov vodka and also from an unlabeled mini bottle. She chain smoked cigarettes and later stumbled to the grass where she appeared to pass out.
"That combined with major health issues in my family drove me to the unfortunate circumstances that you can see on the pictures. At that moment in time, I felt like I needed a moment to myself, in a park. The vodka came about as a desperate move to try to release some pressure and is under no circumstances an indication of how I lead my life on a day to day basis," she said.

The Danish actress - who has previously entered rehab in 2007 for alcohol issues - swigged from a vodka bottle and chain smoked cigarettes while sitting alone on a park bench, before appearing to take a nap. The 49-year-old star also appeared to vomit before using mouthwash to freshen her breath before walking back to her house in Hollywood.
"It was sad to see her brought so low. She needs help," an onlooker said.
Speaking previously about her battle with booze, Brigitte - who was previously married to Sylvester Stallone and is currently with Mattia Dessi, her fifth husband - said alcohol turned her into an "ugly" person. "Booze turned me into a bad mum, an ugly, depressed woman and a complete loser. I heard voices in my head telling me to drink. I even drank just to pick up the phone because I felt such self-loathing and embarrassment," she said.

Charlie Sheen Doesn’t Believe in Rehab

The Anger Management actor had an erratic 2011 - confessing to "banging seven-gram rocks" of crack-cocaine - but even though he successfully completed home treatment for substances and alcohol, he said rehab is not for him.
Charlie, who is now drug free but still drinks alcohol, told TV show Good Morning America, "I don't believe in rehab anymore. It's not for me. It's not for everyone. It's not a one-size-fits-all and it didn't fit me." Referring to US beer brand Miller, he added, "We live in a country where it's always Miller Time so what are you going to do? It's happy hour somewhere in the world."
Charlie does regret some of his outbursts, many of which were personal and directed at certain people, including Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, and lost him his multi-million dollar job starring in the show.
