Mischa Barton Charged With DUI, Pot Possession

Posted Feb 26th 2008 6:09PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned the L.A. District Attorney is charging Mischa Barton with four misdemeanor counts: driving under the influence, driving with a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher, driving without a license and possession of marijuana (under an ounce) -- all stemming from her December 27 arrest.

The former "O.C." star was pulled over in West Hollywood, Calif. last year. Cops said 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."

Her next court date is February 28.

7.

She should have to face charges.

I'm a bit surprised that Lindsay Lohan's cocaine possession, DUI, carjacking/kidnapping wasn't enough to charge her with, but Mischa gets hit for less than an ounce of pot.

Strange world the L.A. District Attorney's office lives in. Maybe B listers get harsher treatment than A listers. (And I am using the term "A lister" with tongue in cheek).

14. Better to learn this lesson now, or she could end up as screwed up and drugged out as you are at your age. She is young enough to overcome this. You people that criticize are not. Glass houses.
