TMZ reports that Richie got pinched for driving around high as a kite.
TMZ has learned that Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today and was released around 7:15 this morning. The booking sheet reveals Richie is 5'1" and 85 lbs.We're told her SUV was spotted by two motorists going the wrong way on the 134 freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.
When the CHP responded, Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle, Richie was on her cellphone.
Law enforcement officers tell TMZ Nicole Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot.
A preliminary alcohol screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.
This is not the first brush Richie has had with substance abuse. In 2003, she pled guilty to heroin possession. The charges were dismissed after she completed the terms of her probation.
The CHP just informed TMZ the department will not release Richie's mugshot.
Her reps were not immediately available for comment.
85 lbs.? 86 LBS.?!?! Dude, when I finally get my fat ass to the gym and lose weight, I'm going to get busted just so my new svelte weight makes it in the papers. Ok, i'm probably not famous enough (or at all) for TMZ to record my arrest...but seriously, that's hot. 85 lbs. When there's a strong wind, this junkie probably clears trees. I understand now why she wears those enormous sunglasses on her tiny face...they anchor her where gravity won't!
I'm missing the point here. Uh, kids - don't get high and drive. It's bad. Very bad.
