Orlando Brown
Another Day
Another Bench Warrant

Exclusive
0410_orlando_brown_01What's worse -- getting a bench warrant issued for your arrest or having to take a moment to figure out which DUI arrest case the warrant is for?

Case in point ... TMZ has learned "That's So Raven" star Orlando Brown was on the receiving end of another bench warrant last week. Ironically enough, the warrant has nothing to do with Brown's arrest for DUI last month.

Instead, the bench warrant was issued on Wednesday because Brown failed to show for a court date stemming from a 2011 DUI ... in which he was supposed to show he had completed an alcohol program and attended AA meetings as part of his probation for that case. 

In the past year, Brown had not one, not two, BUT THREE bench warrants issued against him stemming from the 2011 case.

Calls to Brown's rep were not returned.

Al Michaels
CHARGED With DUI

Breaking News

Al Michaels
has been charged with 2 counts of misdemeanor DUI in connection with his arrest in Santa Monica, CA last month ... TMZ has learned.

If convicted, Michaels faces up 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine -- but since he doesn't have any priors on his record, it's unlikely he'll spend a single day behind bars.

We broke the story ... Michaels was arrested on April 19th after making an illegal U-turn in front of a DUI checkpoint.

Porn Star Mr. Marcus
ARRESTED
Putting the Big D ... In DUI

Exclusive
0509_mr_marcus_twitter
Porn stud Mr. Marcus -- who, we kid you not, is a member of the porn Hall of Fame -- was arrested in Hollywood early this morning, after cops say he was driving drunk ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement tells us ... Mr. Marcus -- star of "Phat Ass White Booty 6" and "Manhammer 7" -- was pulled over in a Hyundai Elantra around 2:30 AM after cops noticed the car weaving all over the road.

During the stop, we're told cops smelled booze, so they performed a field sobriety test.

Sources tell us ... Marcus bombed the breathalyzer (blowing isn't really his forte) ... so he was arrested for DUI.

Marcus -- who was the source of the famous porn star syphilis scare of 2012 -- is still in custody.

Reese Witherspoon
An American Citizen
Who LOVES Cops

0505_reese_witherspoon_splashReese Witherspoon is clearly over the fact that an Atlanta cop obstructed her justice, because she showed up at LAX last night -- which is on American soil --  sporting an Atlanta PD hat.

That hat is beyond.

Reese Witherspoon Arrest
MORE Dash Cam Footage
Hubby Blames Her

Exclusive
050313_reese_toth_launch
More Reese Witherspoon video ... and this part is very personal, where Reese's husband, Jim Toth, blames her for making a traffic stop national news.

The clip starts with Reese's now-famous line, "My name is Reese Witherspoon ... It will be in the national news." You then hear her argue with the cop.

A while later ... when Reese and Jim are in the patrol car ... you hear him scold her for mouthing off to the cop.  At one point she says to Jim, "He doesn't have jurisdiction over the ground he speaks on."  Classic.

You gotta watch this.

Reese Witherspoon Arrest
DASH CAM VIDEO
Crazier Than You Thought!

-- And just when you thought it couldn't get any better ... we just posted more video.

gray-bar-update
Reese Witherspoon
wasn't kidding when she told GMA she was "saying all kinds of crazy things"  ... and TMZ has obtained the entire, unbelievably entertaining dash cam video.

The footage, obtained from law enforcement sources, shows the officer arresting Reese's husband Jim Toth for DUI in the early morning hours of April 19.

Reese -- who since admitted she was hammered at the time -- decided to butt in during the arrest ... and the officer obviously wasn't having it and cartoonishly enforced the law with a vengeance.

In fact, the cop warned Reese several times to sit down and be quiet so he could focus on Jim -- Witherspoon didn't exactly comply.

Instead, Reese got in the officer's face ... and annoyed him to the point that he arrested her for disorderly conduct. Here are some of Reese's finest quotes during the incident:

Reese: "Do you know my name sir?"
Officer: "Don't need to know."
Reese "You don't NEED to know my name?"
Officer: "Not quite yet."
Reese: "YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHO I AM!"

Reese: "I have done nothing against the law."
Officer: "Yes you did, you didn't obey my orders."
Reese: "I HAVE TO OBEY YOUR ORDERS??"

Reese: "I'm now being arrested and handcuffed??"

Reese: "I'm an American citizen ... I'm allowed to stand on American ground."

Reese: "You better not arrest me."

Reese: "I'm being anti-American?"
Officer: "Yes, please sit down."
Reese: "Wow!"

Reese: "You're harassing me as an American citizen"

And the best line -- "I'm obstructing your justice?"

After Reese's tirade, Jim actually told the cop, "I'm sorry, I had nothing to do with that!"

During the arrest, Reese also told the cop she was pregnant and needed to pee.  She later confessed on "GMA" that she panicked and said "crazy things" because her husband was being arrested. 

050213_witherspoon_dash_3_launch_v2Funny moment during the bust ... the officer instructs Toth to blow hard during a breathalyzer test -- coaching him along the way, "Blow! blow! blow! blow! blow! blow! blow!"

But Toth blew TOO HARD ... and the cop had to do the whole thing all over again.

Reese Witherspoon
Pleads No Contest ...
Hubby Pleads Guilty to DUI

Exclusive

Reese Witherspoon
just pled no contest and her husband Jim Toth pled guilty in Atlanta to charges stemming from his DUI arrest and her bust for mouthing off to the arresting officer ... TMZ has learned.

Reese -- who was arrested for disorderly conduct April 19 after disobeying an officer's order to stay in the car -- pled no contest to the infraction.  You'll recall during her husband's arrest an inebriated Reese asked the cop, "Do you know my name?"  She also told him he was gonna be on national news.

Reese -- who was not present but represented by her lawyer, Bruce Morris -- entered the plea to physical obstruction of another and will pay a $213 fine, and that's it.

As for Jim, he was in court and pled guilty to driving under the influence.  He'll get no jail time but he must perform 40 hours of community service and attend an alcohol education program.  He's been placed on probation for 12 months.

The judge said to Jim, "Consider yourself fortunate you didn't injure your passenger [Reese] and didn't kill anyone." 

This is an unusual move for celebrities, who often try and spin their legal woes.  Reese was on GMA this morning ... saying she and Jim took full responsibility for their screw-ups and even admitted they exercised really bad judgment when he got behind the wheel drunk.

Her GMA appearance was just hours before Reese and Jim essentially said the same thing to a judge -- accepting responsibility and taking their lumps.

Reese Witherspoon
Arrest in ATL Was Just
'One of Those Nights'

Breaking News
050213_reese_witherspoon_gma_launchReese Witherspoon said she and her husband exercised "poor judgment" on the night they were both arrested in Atlanta and says an incident like that will "never happen again."

In her first interview since the arrest in Atlanta on April 19, Reese told George Stephanopoulos of "Good Morning America" that she and hubby Jim Toth had "one too many glasses of wine" at dinner and thought they were "fine to drive."

Clearly they weren't ... and Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct after she mouthed off to the police officer who was arresting her husband for DUI.

As for the infamous "Do you know my name?" ... Reese admitted, "I had no idea what I was saying."

'Myrtle Manor' Star Amanda Lee
DUI ARREST VIDEO
'I'm On A F**king TV Reality Show!'

Exclusive
042913_myrtle_manor_dui_launch_v2"Myrtle Manor" star Amanda Lee Adams had a Reese Witherspoon moment of her own during her DUI arrest, telling police, "I'm on a f**king TV reality show" ... and TMZ has the crazy arrest footage.

The video is pretty nuts ... 26-year-old Amanda runs the gamut of emotions during the Friday morning arrest in South Carolina: 

Confusion -- Amanda can't remember what she had to drink before getting in the car ... something around 3 beers and 1 shot. Maybe.

Confidence -- Amanda swears she's a safe driver ... and tells cops she's only in town because she's on a "f**king TV reality show."

Desperation -- "I have to pee really bad ..."

Sadness -- Once she bombs the field sobriety test, Amanda is placed under arrest for DUI. That's when she starts bawlin'. Through the tears, she whines, "My daddy's gonna hate me."

As we previously reported, Amanda is accused of slamming her Jeep Wrangler into a power pole. We got the pics of the wreckage ... and it ain't pretty.

Reese Witherspoon
Back to the Scene
of the Crime

042813_reese_witherspoon_launchReese Witherspoon is headed back to the city where no one knows her name ... well, they probably do now.

Our photogs spotted the "Legally Blonde" star at LAX bright and early this morning, hopping a plane back to Atlanta ... scene of her embarrassing arrest last week.

Reese wasn't in a chatty mood when our guy tried to spark a conversation but given her recent history ... that's probably the right move for her.

Jeffrey Wright
Arrested
for DWI

Exclusive
0427_jeffrey_wright_gettyVeteran character actor Jeffrey Wright was arrested in NYC early Saturday morning for DWI ... TMZ has learned. 

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that cops pulled Wright over in a Toyota Tacoma at around 3:00 AM ET for an unknown traffic violation.

We're told when cops spoke with Wright, they detected an odor of alcohol and administered a field sobriety test. After Wright did poorly on that, he was arrested and booked for DWI.

Wright has appeared in almost too many movies to name, but will next be seen by most of the free world in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire."
