Daniel Baldwin spent two weeks at now-defunct treatment center Anacapa by the Sea in Port Hueneme, California, for treatment of addiction to cocaine.

In 1998, he was found running naked through the halls of New York's Plaza Hotel, and arrested for possession of cocaine. He pled guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to three months in drug rehab. He later told People magazine he had been battling a cocaine addiction since 1989.

Baldwin was arrested on July 19, 2006, after he crashed his Ford Thunderbird into two cars parked on a Los Angeles street. According to the police, Baldwin ran a red light after weaving through the traffic in West LA just before 1 pm. He then crashed his rented Ford Thunderbird into two parked cars while going 80 mph in a 35 mph zone. Jason Lee, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles police, said "The Thunderbird pushed one of the vehicles about 20 feet, and that was a Hummer." Police say Baldwin was driving with a suspended license, at the time of the crash. He was transferred to UCLA Medical Center with back and neck injuries, but did not appear to be seriously hurt.

In 2006, rock band Ded Sexi released a song entitled "Lesser of the Baldwins." In August 2006, popular entertainment website www.TMZ.com referenced the Ded Sexi song in conjunction with an article on Baldwin.

"The car belongs to an acquaintance of Mr. Baldwin, but he had no permission to take it," said Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County sheriff's department.

On February 6, 2007, an arrest warrant was issued for Baldwin in Newport Beach, CA, by the Orange County Superior Court for his failure to show up for an arraignment stemming from an auto-theft charge. At the time, Baldwin was in Detroit, Michigan filming a movie. He turned himself into police on February 20 and pleaded not guilty to his charges. He remains free on bail.
