According to Whitmore, Aguilera was released around 7:30 am PT this morning after passing a sobriety test in jail, and driven home by a friend, but Rutler was still being held in custody.
Whitmore explained that cops pulled over Rutler’s car on Sunset and Clark in West Hollywood, after witnessing him “driving erratically” and he was subsequently arrested and booked for DUI.

He went on to say that police noticed that Aguilera (the passenger) “was not capable of taking care of herself” so they arrested her and took her into custody for “the safety of the individual and the public.”
Whitmore stressed that Aguilera was cooperative and not belligerent or aggressive in any way.
He said that although she will not be charged she will have a record for misdemeanor public intoxication.
