Reese Witherspoon’s husband was arrested for a DUI in Atlanta over the weekend, an otherwise forgettable sin that was made notable by how much of a haughty brat the report makes Reese (who’s real name is apparently Laura Jeanne) out to be.

And we all thought she was the sweet golden girl of Hollywood….

 

While her husband, a Hollywood agent, James Toth is facing a DUI charge after driving in the wrong lane, Witherspoon was also arrested on a disorderly conduct charge according to a police report obtained by Variety. She was handcuffed after disobeying repeated instruction from the arresting officer, with whom she verbally sparred, to stay inside the vehicle.

As Toth walked in the Walgreens parking lot where the officer instructed him to pull over to, Witherspoon became increasingly agitated from the vehicle, which prompted the officer to warn her to stay in the car for the sake of her own safety.

 

“Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer,” according to the police report. “I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet.”

Once Toth was placed under arrest, Witherspoon exited the vehicle and was instructed to get back in the car. According to the report, she “stated that she was a ‘US citizen’ and that she was allowed to ‘stand on American ground.’”

Umm, probably not the best time to start the USA chant Reese…

 

The officer then detailed how she resisted as he grabbed her arms to arrest as Toth attempted to calm her down.

As the report details, “Mrs. Witherspoon asked, “Do you know my name?” I answered, “No, I don’t need to know your name.” I then added, “right now.” Mrs. Witherspoon stated, “You’re about to find out who I am.”

Cardinal rule:  It might work at the club,but don’t try to pull the “Don’t you know who I am?” card with the po-po.

The report also specified, “Mrs. Witherspoon also stated, ‘You are going to be on national news.’ I advised Mrs. Witherspoon that was fine.”

Though he told an officer he had only a single drink hours earlier, Toth blew a .139 on a Breathalyzer test administered at the scene.

AKA…that must’ve been one HECK of a drink.

He also is facing a second charge for failure to maintain a lane while driving.

But the best (most humorous) part about this A-list bust…is that Oscar winner Reese and her rich agent hubby were driving……. a Ford Fusion.
