Celebrity Justice
Another "Laguna Beach" Star Busted

Posted Mar 27th 2007 2:51PM by TMZ Staff

Jessica SmithJessica Smith, ex reality star of MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs after allegedly causing an injury crash on the Santa Ana Freeway.

Cops say Smith, 19 (seriously -- 19!), of Laguna Beach, was driving a Volkswagen Beetle and slammed it into the back of an Acura, causing "great bodily injury" to people in both cars. The CHP report said that her level of intoxication, unsafe speed and wet roadways were conditions that led to the crash. The driver of the Acura, Roy Hernandez of Lake Forest, sustained minor injuries. A passenger in Jessica's car, Lindsay Cooper, 20, suffered minor injuries.

Police sources tell TMZ that Smith is still being held in an Orange County jail. Her bail was set at $100,000. Smith is due in court tomorrow morning.

Smith's ex-boyfriend, Laguna star Jason Wahler has been arrested several times in several states for several reasons.

Piss poor reporting as usual.

8. Jessica Smith, that was stupid. You are too young to drink and too irresponsible to drive. I hope you have a guilty conscience for a very long time for hurting someone.

It is simple, you want to drink you do not drive. How hard is it to understand?

10. Get these idiots that drunk drive off the road and throw them in jail where they belong. She caused bodily injury this time, next time it could be death. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers who threaten the lives of other people. And themselves, Had she killed these people would some people sit there and say"Oh, she just made a mistake?" , Had her mistake casued death, that mistake would have been irreversable.
