Last Friday news broke out that Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth were arrested in Atlanta. Toth was arrested for a DUI, and Witherspoon for disorderly conduct.
Witherspoon released a statement to US Weekly saying, “Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said…It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”
According to the police offer who arrested Witherspoon and Toth, Reese angrily said, “Do you know my name? . . . You’re about to find out who I am.”
After being booked in an Atlanta police station, the Hollywood couple was released around 3:30 a.m. A court date is scheduled for today, though it may be rescheduled, according to reports.
