POLICE REPORT: Read The Events Surrounding Reese Witherspoon’s Arrest
According to the report as the officer gave Toth a field sobriety test, Witherspoon repeatedly got out of the car–or hung out the window on the passenger side despite repeated warnings from the officer to remain inside.
The report states that Witherspoon told the trooper she was a U.S. citizen and that she was allowed to “stand on American ground.” “Mrs.Witherspoon also stated ‘You are going to be on national news.’ I advised Mrs.Witherspoon that was fine” the officer said in the report.
“I had to tell Mrs.Witherspoon several times to get back into the vehicle before she did so. I told Mrs.Witherspoon that I would arrest her the next time she got out of the vehicle. I finished HGN (Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus(EyeTwitchTest) with Mr. Toth. I went and explained to Mrs. Witherspoon the reason why I wanted her to stay in the vehicle. The reason was for my safety. Mrs.Witherspoon stated "Yes sir." I went back to Mr. Toth and continued field sobriety. During the rest of field sobriety I observed that Mr. Toth had a hard time listening to and following my directions. Mr. Toth wanted to finish the rest of the tests on the sidewalk next to the Walgreen's building. After I had administered the PBT Mrs.Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer. I told Mrs.Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet. “I placed Mr. Toth under arrest for DUI. When asked his age Mr.Toth stated that he was 42 years old. I had Mr .Toth sit on my push bumper. Mrs.Witherspoon got out of the vehicle and walked up to me and Mr. Toth "What had I already told you?"
