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.

95. Why does she look just like Lindsay's mug shot in this photo? She needs to visit Paris' make up artist. If you're going to be in the press, best to put your best face on!

96. "another parent who didnt teach their kid to stay home and drink". sounds like a judgement about her parents. "like we do in the south" implying that no one in the south gets DUI's. Look im not trying to single you out. its actually my fault for coming here. I have gotten in the habit of coming here and it used to be fun but im really not enjoying these sites anymore, especially the nasty comments that some people post. I have no particular interest in this chick whatsoever. it seems like some people take a lot of enjoyment in bashing others. so my resolution for the new year is to get a life and stop coming to these sites. take care

97. I don't think people are taking drinking and driving seriously enough and its just not the people who have their names in the paper.

99. Too bad. She used to be this AMAZING looking ethereal young woman; with her meth habit, she'll look like hell in a couple of months. Next thing we know, she'll have to do porn to survive. She looks dorky & uncoordinated; don't think she'd make it in porn or as a fluffer...

100. Debbi, i can see how you took it that way. I'm not judgemental at all and don't like putting people down. Point made. I'm feeling a little feisty today, I'm not usually. Out of all the comments made on TMZ you called me on mine. I'll take that into consideration. Peace.

102. Mischa Barton has fallen hard from grace ever since she had a contract dispute and left
the O.C.
