Authorities were trying to determine who was driving the SUV, which was registered to Garrison.

A native of Dallas, Garrison plays “Tweener” on Fox’s “Prison Break.” He has worked mainly in television but appears in the film “Shooter,” which is due out next year. Garrison’s publicist, Catherine Olim, did not immediately return a phone call Sunday.
