David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife smelt of booze and was slurring her words when she was pulled over for suspected drink driving, a California Highway Patrol (CHP) report has revealed.

Pamela Bach was driving so erratically on the freeway that she swerved between two lanes and almost hit another car, the report into her arrest states.

The mother-of-two, who said she felt “remorseful and mortified” following her brush with the law, even failed a series of sobriety tests to check her hand to eye co-ordination.

“Based on the observation of the driving, her inability to perform the tests and the symptoms of intoxication – including the odour of alcohol and the slurring of words – she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol,” a CHP spokesman said.

Bach, who was booked under her married name – Pamela Hasselhoff – was spotted by highway patrol officers as she drove westbound along the 101 freeway in north Hollywood on Saturday evening.

The officers’ report into the incident claims the blonde actress, who was alone in the vehicle, was struggling to stay in one lane and almost hit another car moments before they pulled her over.

Bach, who was married to Hasselhoff for more than 16 years, was taken to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Van Nuys Jail where she submitted to “chemical tests” before being released to a friend.

The TV star spent more than five hours in custody before being released. She posted bail money totalling $15,000.

Bach is due in court on Christmas Eve.
