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.

34. Her agent probably told her to do this as a publicity stunt - to get back in the news like Britney and Lindsay. Too bad it is going to be overshadowed by the Bhutto assasination.

35. Burton is probably the "real" spelling of her last name. She probably changed it to sound French or something. Burton is a common name, where as Barton is not. Stupid girl!

39. How is this news? She was a bit player on a short lived, dime a dozen show that failed. She is no celeb, just like her drunk and high friend Paris, Nicole and the rest of em. Who cares? She is crowd following idiot.

42. I think they should legalize it everywhere and put a tax on it. Of course you could only do it in private.
