Reality series star Nichole Richie arrested in LA for DUI
Nichole Richie was arrested on Monday, December 11, 2006 in Glendale, CA for suspicion of drunk driving.
Authorities were alerted through calls to 911 that a vehicle was driving in the wrong direction on State Highway 134. Richie’s black Mercedes sport utility vehicle was in the car pool lane, stopped, when California Highway Patrol officers arrived.
After failing a field sobriety test, Richie was taken into custody and booked in Glendale, where she was tested for drugs and released shortly thereafter.
Nichole Richie is the daughter of the famed pop singer, Lionel Richie, and is an actress, alongside Paris Hilton, on the reality series, “A Simple Life.”Richie’s drug test results have yet to be determined.
It will be interesting to see how this case is handled given her previous run-ins with the law.
