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.
Stephanie Pratt, 23, has been formally charged with drink-driving after her early-morning arrest two Sundays ago in Hollywood.
Pratt, a star on The Hills, was pulled over at 3.45 am after leaving Holly Montag’s birthday bash, which ironically was not attended by her high-profile sister-in-law.
Pratt faces up to six months in jail and a $1000 fine if she is convicted. She registered an .08 and .09 reading in two breathalyser tests. The legal limit in California is .08. She was taken into custody on $5000 bail.
The star later said on her Twitter page: “i was pulled over 4 tinted windows 3 blocks from where i was sleeping and blew a .08. which was 2 drinks. i made the wrong choice to drive and i take full responsibility.”
She added: “i would never put other peoples lives at risk and want to be very clear that i was not pulled over for unsafe driving. 2 drinks … call a taxi! pls learn from my mistake. love u alllll!”
Lionel Richie was in Santa Monica to accept the “Icon” honor at last Sunday night’s taping of the TV Land Awards, when he received a different round of applause for being the dad of daughter Nicole.
“Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business,” he told the audience. “Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there.”
Guess he is still recovering from all the nonsense his daughter put him through in 2007. Nicole served 82 minutes in jail after being convicted of DUI of drugs. She was arrested in December 2006 after witnesses reported seeing her Benz SUV driving down the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank, Calif.
Nicole, who became famous in her own right for her stint on Fox’s “The Simple Life” along with Paris Hilton, has been behaving herself ever since. Well sort of… she gave birth to her daughter Harlow with Joel Madden three months ago.
The sixth annual TV Land Awards are scheduled to air June 15 on the cable network.
Despite his attorney arguing on his behalf, Chad Kroeger was convicted and will be sentenced May 1st.
Kroeger’s lawyer, told the court that when Canadian cops pulled him over in June, 2006 for speeding in his red Lamborghini Diablo, one of the officers asked him to blow in his face to see whether or not Chad had alcohol on his breath.
The lawyer also insisted that cops waited too long before taking a breath sample, which the they said was because Chadwas ticked off about having to leave hiscar on the side of the road.
Chad was convicted. He’ll be sentenced May 1.The man can afford to drive a lamborghini, why didn’t he just hire a cab, or a limo after he started drinking? A person is sober until he takes that first drink, and when they decide to take that sip, they should also decide to find a safe ride home.
