Barbara Walters' Daughter
Drunk and Abusive
During DUI Arrest

Exclusive
0520-jacqueline-danforth-may

Barbara Walters' daughter was so out of control during her DUI arrest, she had to be "taken to the ground" so she wouldn't run into traffic ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.

We broke the story ... 44-year-old Jacqueline Walters Danforth -- who famously discussed her troubled teenage years on various TV specials with her mom -- was arrested for DUI in Naples, FL on May 19.

According to the report, Jacqueline was in the driver's seat of a Honda Pilot which was stopped by police around 1:24 AM ... after cops received reports about an SUV stopped on the highway without its lights on.

During the encounter, cops say both Jackie and a male passenger -- described as her BF -- appeared to be extremely intoxicated.

Cops say ... they went to place the man in handcuffs -- which pissed Jackie off ... so she grabbed at one of the officers and "began shouting."

The arresting officer states in the report, "I was afraid that the suspect may run into traffic on the highway, so she was taken to the ground due to her unpredictable behavior, then secured in handcuffs."

According to the report, Jacqueline eventually took a breathalyzer test and blew a .218 -- more than TWICE the legal limit.

She was eventually arrested for DUI ... and was released several hours later on $1,000 bond.

Barbara Walters' Daughter
Busted For DUI

Barbara Walters
' daughter -- whose troubled childhood was chronicled in Barbara's biography and in several TV specials -- was arrested for DUI in Florida on Sunday, TMZ has learned.

According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, 44-year-old Jacqueline Danforth was popped near Naples, FL.  The details surrounding the arrest are unclear.

It's an especially sad story considering Jacqueline made a public vow to get her life on track, following some turbulent teenage years filled with clubbing and substance use.

In fact, Jackie ran a wilderness program for troubled girls in northern Maine for years ... but it appears to have closed in 2008.

FYI -- Jacqueline was adopted as an infant by Walters and then-husband Lee Guber in 1968 -- before divorcing in 1976.

As for the DUI arrest, the Collier County Sheriff's Office website says she's been released from custody on $1,000 bond.

A rep for Barbara Walters had no comment.

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.

CHARGED With DUI

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.

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.

-- 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.
