Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth Arrested for DUI!

We can honestly say that we did not see this one coming. The adorable Reese Witherspoon was arrested along with her husband and jailed for a brief period of time Friday morning after a police officer saw their car driving in the wrong lane. The cop pulled the car over and that is when he noticed Reese and her husband Jim Toth were clearly intoxicated. Toth’s breath reeked of alcohol, according to the cop who pulled them over. So, the police officer decided to administer a sobriety test on Toth, and that is when Reese started to get irritated.  The cop stated in the report,

“Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say she did not believe that I was the real police officer. I told Mrs Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet.”

Toth was then placed under arrest after failing the sobriety test, blowing a .139. Seeing her husband get arrested caused Witherspoon to freak out even more. It’s being reported that she got out of the car, even after she was instructed not to by the police officer. She claimed that she was allowed to stand on American ground because she was a US citizen.

“Mrs. Witherspoon asked, ‘Do you know my name?’ I answered, ‘No, I don’t need to know your name.’ I then added, ‘right now.’ Mrs. Witherspoon stated, ‘You’re about to find out who I am. You are going to be on national news.’ I advised Mrs. Witherspoon that was fine.” the cop recalled in the report.

Witherspoon was then placed under arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for getting into an argument with the cop. Her husband was, of course, charged with DUI. The drunken couple were released from jail at around 3:30am on Friday morning. This arrest is completely unexpected considering Reese Witherspoon has such a great reputation in Hollywood. She is known for being “squeaky clean” everyone thinks of Reese as the responsible one, so this really comes as a big shock to everyone.

Reese did issue a brief statement on the incident late last night, through her spokesperson,

“I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”

Aw, how can you be mad at Reese Witherspoon? I realize this is probably a double standard. If this was Lindsay Lohan, I definitely wouldn’t be saying “Awwww.” But, it’s Reese Witherspoon! She gets a pass on this one. Just don’t let it happen again!
