Tawny Kitaen (AP)
On Saturday afternoon, actress Tawny Kitaen was arrested in the upscale Southern California area of Newport Beach on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was released on $2,500 bail shortly thereafter.
Kitaen was detained after she was involved in a collision while driving near the John Wayne Airport. Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Burdette told the Orange County Register that no one was injured and no vehicles were damaged in the accident.
Burdette also noted that it was unclear if Kitaen was under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both.
Kitaen was a cast member on the second season of VH1's reality show, ‘Celebrity Rehab.' Prior to her appearance on the show, she had been in rehabilitation after pleading guilty to possession of 15 grams of cocaine, according to the Register.
In 2002, she was arrested for abusing her then-husband, major league baseball pitcher Chuck Finley. According to the Associated Press, the misdemeanor counts of spousal abuse were dropped because Kitaen agreed to conflict resolution and anger management counseling.
