“According to Lieutenant Honings of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s office, the former star of The O.C. actress “was stopped at 2:46 a.m. and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of illegal narcotics and driving without a valid license.”
"During Ms. Barton’s detention, it was determined that she was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage,” police told press, adding, “Ms. Barton was arrested and transported to West Hollywood Sheriff’s station where the booking process was completed without incident.”
Barton was released after posting $10,000 dollar bond at around 10 a.m. and the investigation is still considered ongoing.
According to Source. “Her mother picked her up in a black Mercedes.Thursday. Her mom carried the paperwork. Mischa walked out with her arms crossed, covering her face with a scarf. She tried to lay down in the back of the car. She was given a police escort so nobody could follow her.”
Initially, police also said she'd been arrested for possession of illegal narcotics, but no more details were available.
