Mischa Barton Hates Drunk Drivers
Actress disgusted with her California DUI in Los Angeles.
In a recent interview Mischa Barton has said that she was disgusted with herself following an arrest for driving under the influence in LA. She went on to say, “The thing is, I hate drunk drivers. Living in L.A., I can't stand them.”
The former star of the television show ‘The O.C.’ said that she wanted to prove to the court that she took the incident seriously and that she was not an alcoholic who might repeat the drunk driving offense by entering rehab. While Barton believes that going to rehab helped her avoid more serious penalties, she plead guilty to California DUI and received a three year probation sentence before deciding to seek help.
Barton was arrested for DUI in LA last December. She entered her guilty plea in April and was relieved when the charge of marijuana possession was dropped.
