Why was reese witherspoon arrested?

Answer 1

Reese Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct. The arrest took place shortly after midnight on a Thursday night (technically early Friday morning between midnight and 1am April 19, 2013).

Her husband Jim Toth had been pulled over for driving in the wrong lane (into oncoming traffic) and was in the process of being arrested for DUI (driving under the influence.) His blood alcohol was reported as .139

Reese, who was also reportedly drunk at the time, hung out the window of the vehicle and verbally accosted the police officer. Reportedly she told him that he wasn't a real police officer and could not arrest her or her husband 'because I'm famous', she's also reported as saying 'your gonna find out who I am real soon'.

She also refused to remain in the vehicle even though instructed numerous times to remain seated; her behavior led into a verbal argument while the officer tried to complete the arrest on her husband so that it became necessary to detain her for disorderly conduct as well.

They were released on bail a few hours later and are scheduled to appear in court to face the charges sometime in the following month (May, 2013)

Answer 2

She did drinking and driving
