LOS ANGELES, Calif. ---- Alexandra Kerry, the eldest daughter of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, was arrested in Hollywood on Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence.
The 36-year-old aspiring filmmaker was stopped by police for a traffic violation and was placed under arrest after she refused to take a preliminary alcohol-screening at the scene.
Los Angeles police did conduct a formal blood-alcohol test at the station which resulted in Kerry being just under the legal limit. She was later released on $5,000 bail.
A statement released on behalf of Massachusetts senator John Kerry said, Kerry's daughter was pulled over for an expired automobile registration "and was released after the results of a breathalyzer test at the police station were under the legal limit."
"Senator Kerry supports his daughter and will have no further comment on a private matter," the statement said.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said the case was turned over to prosecutors who will decide whether to formally charge Kerry or dismiss the matter.
The senator’s daughter gained wide-spread media attention during her father’s 2004 presidential bid when she was photographed in a see-through gown at Cannes film festival, where her short film, “The Last Full Measure,” premiered that year.
Kerry had minor roles as an actor in the David Mamet films "State and Main" and "Spartan." She also appeared in several episodes of the short-lived TV political drama "Mr. Sterling," which starred Josh Brolin.
