Actress Jaime Pressly arrested on suspicion of DUI

Actress Jaime Pressly was arrested late Wednesday by Santa Monica police on suspicion of driving under the influence and released early Thursday on $15,000 bail.

Pressly, 33, best known for her Golden Globe nominated performance in the television show “My Name is Earl,” was taken into custody about 11:36 p.m. after police officers pulled her over and performed a field sobriety test, Sgt. Jay Tresler said.

Pressly was riding with passengers, but police did not release their names. Police did not release the location of the offense or say whether Pressly agreed to take a Breathalyzer test.

The actress is scheduled to appear in court Feb. 7.

Substance abuse sure makes a beautiful girl look ROUGH!

Ya might consider getting control of your life before you wind up dead.

Who?

I guess it's just too hard to find a taxi on the streets in Santa Monica.

She's only 33? She's not aging too well.

FREE JAIME!

Wow, the booze or drugs make her look rough

she's only 33? on a good day i thought she was older. :(

what a dumb cluck.

She looks bad. Either doesn't eat food and is on some kook starvation kick or has a drug/booze/meth problem. I should have included her in my goul pool picks.

Time for another handslap. Maybe Lohan's publicist can call her publicist. Stuff some envelopes with cash; you may be facing a Santa Monniker judge.
