[Smells Like News] Alexandra Forbes Kerry Busted For DUI

Alexandra Forbes Kerry, the daughter of U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate John Kerry, was arrested early this morning on suspicion of DUI.

Law enforcement sources say she was busted in Hollywood around 12:40 a.m. The 36-year-old film producer/director was pulled over for a traffic stop.

Alexandra Kerry was arrested and booked at by the LAPD, and released at 5:25 a.m.

She was arrested for being under the influence of an intoxicant.

This is Alexandra Forbes Kerry, daughter of John. What's with the logo? Trust us, we had to put it there. Apparently it was chilly the night this photo was taken. Brr!

Interestingly, she refused a preliminary test in the field, and by the time a formal blood test was conducted at the station, it showed a level of just .06.

Under California law, the legal limit is .08, but a driver can still be prosecuted, even under .08, if the vehicle is being operated unsafely due to alcohol.

Of course, given the far worse DUIs they see all the time, prosecutors generally won't go after people registering under a .08 unless their driving was extremely dangerous, so Kerry may be off the hook when all is said and done. We'll see.
