Mischa Barton Busted for DUI

Posted Dec 27th 2007 11:51AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has confirmed that Mischa Barton has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of marijuana and a controlled substance and driving without a valid license.

According to a press release issued by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, the former "O.C." star was pulled over early this morning around 2:45 AM as she was driving in West Hollywood, Calif. Cops say she "was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and failed to signal when making a turn." When deputies pulled her over, they determined that she "was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage."

Barton is still in custody, being held on $10,000 bail. The L.A. County Sheriffs' Inmate Information website called her "Mischa Burton." Sources tell us that Mischa has been "very cooperative" and "no trouble at all." She's a good bad girl!

The arrest was first reported by Hollyscoop.com.

22. Driving around West Hollywood without a valid license, under the influence, at 3 in the morning, with narcotics on your person. Read it and weep; and this dumb broad will probably actually have the nerve to be shocked and upset. She may as well have painted a bullseye on her ass.

27. I think the sad thing is that she is 5 foot 9 inches tall and only weighs 125 pounds... that's too skinny... Her Body Mass Index is 18.5... that is considered "under weight" by the National Institute of Health... why does everybody in Hollywood have to be so blame skinny that they can fit through a keyhole? Maybe she can squeeze between the bars in the prison and escape.

29.
Unlike the usual idiots (Lindsay, Paris, Britney, Nicole, Amy) , Misha will not be on a made-for-paparazzi Starbucks- Retail Shopping-Restaurant- Nightclub tour after this incident.

She will disappear from public view as the publicity is not helpful to a career (though she is largely invisible anyway)

Lessons Learned from the female idiots that are on display daily in TMZ.com X-17.com, US Weekly and OK!

30. Here's the problem. In the days when "stars" were just that, STARS, the studios would not allow them to tarnish their reputation or that of the star. Today's young untalented lot (do a fake reality show and instant stardom) are over paid for what they offer up as talent and therefore have to much money to get into trouble. Britney, Lindsey, Mischa, Nicloe & Paris, what's the common link here, they were at one time or are still friends. Wouldn't you think they would learn from their friends previous mistakes?
Is it perhaps they feel they are above the law because they are filthy rich?
Am I mistaken or is there no filter on that funny looking smoke that Mischa is dragging on?????
Let them all do some jail time , it hopefully will mature them and snap them into shape before they kill someone innocent.
No more slaps on the wrist from the courts!!!!!!
