Move over Amanda Bynes, American sweetheart Reese Witherspoon is on track to becoming Hollywood’s next good-girl-turned-bad after she and husband, Jim Tosh, were arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 19.
According to reports, the Oscar-winning actress was arrested for disorderly conduct after authorities had detained her husband for drunk driving after cops pulled over the car when it was seen weaving between lanes. Showbiz magazine Variety broke the story revealing that Toth blew a .139 on a Breathalyser test administered at the scene.
This from TMZ:
As officers dealt with Jim, Reese allegedly started acting up, telling cops, “Do you know my name?” The officer answered by saying, “No, I don’t need to know your name.” Witherspoon then came back with, “You’re about to find out who I am … You are going to be on national news.”
At one point, she got out of her car and the officer ordered her back inside. When she got out a second time, he arrested her for disorderly conduct, a municipal ordinance.
It’s nice to know that even a big star like Reese Witherspoon still behaves like an obnoxious jerk just as any run-of-the-mill intoxicated arrestee would. She and Toth were taken to jail where they spent three hours before posting bail, and I really wish I could tell you Reese attempted to dig her way out with her spoon but real life is never perfect like that.
This isn’t the first sign of excessive boozing by Reese Witherspoon who we can only assume was very drunk when she signed on to star in the godawful film Water For Elephants.
