Actress Reese Witherspoon has a prim and respected
reputation in Hollywood. However,
that reputation is likely to be somewhat tarnished after the actress's recent
arrest for disorderly conduct. Her
arrest coincided with the arrest of her husband for DUI.
The incident unfolded when police officers
pulled over Witherspoon‘s husband, Jim Toth after spotting his car driving in
the wrong lane. He was pulled over
by the cops, who proceeded to administer the actress's husband a sobriety
test. However, by time,
Witherspoon was beginning to get very frustrated with the delay in letting her
husband go, and did something that no LosAngeles DUI lawyer would recommend, she began to interfere with the
proceedings.
Her husband rated a .139 on the test, which
is more than the legally permissible alcohol level of .08 in California. At this point, Witherspoon got out of
the car, and began arguing with the cops.
According to reports, she seemed very upset, and asked the cops if they
knew who she was, and warned them that within the next few hours they were
going to be on national news, because of their conduct with her.
Both she and her husband were taken to jail, he
for driving under the influence, and she for disorderly conduct. Both of them were handcuffed and taken
to jail, and were released on bond a few hours later.
Since the embarrassing arrest, the actress has
released a statement saying that she was unable to comment on the legal
situation, but she was embarrassed about the things that she said during the
arrest. She also clearly admitted
to having had too much to drink.
