Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI!
Shortly after 4AM, Nicole was stopped by California Highway Patrol after she was spotted driving the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank.
While a preliminary alcohol screening device revealed Nicole wasn’t under the influence of alcohol, she admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot before getting behind the wheel.
Her booking papers later listed Joel Madden as her emergency contact… two weeks after he split from Hilary Duff.
It was later revealed that Nicole had been leaving Joel’s house the night of the arrest, and the next day she was spotted on the set of Good Charlotte’s video for The River.
The DUI wasn’t her first, either. In 2002, she was arrested after a police officer spotted her speeding through a red light at 50mph in an area with a 15mph speed limit. She blamed the incident on only having french fries and “a shot of vodka” that day.
This time, however, Nicole had a new excuse for her lapse in judgement… “menstrual cramps.” Happy 10 Years!
