TMZ has learned that Nicole
Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning. She was booked at 4:50 AM today and was released around 7:15 this morning. The booking sheet reveals
Richie is 5'1" and 85 lbs.
We're told her SUV was spotted by two motorists going the wrong way on the 134 freeway in Burbank. The drivers called 911.
When the CHP responded,
Richie was stopped in the carpool lane and was alone in the vehicle. When cops approached the vehicle,
Richie was on her cellphone.
Law enforcement officers tell TMZ Nicole
Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot.
A preliminary alcohol screening device revealed that Nicole was not under the influence of alcohol.
This is not the first brush
Richie has had with substance abuse. In 2003, she pled guilty to heroin possession. The charges were dismissed after she completed the terms of her probation.
The CHP just informed TMZ the department will not release
Richie's mugshot.
Her reps were not immediately available for comment.
