Just as the stories involving Nicole started to die down to some degree she gets busted in the middle of the night driving up the off ramp, in the wrong direction, entering the freeway! Under California law, anyone caught driving under the influence has to do a mandatory sentence of at least 5 days in jail. Not to mention the hefty fine, possible probation and loss of driving priviledges..which probably wouldn’t be such a bad idea for lots of celebs! Although, Nicole claims she had only one shot of vodka mixed with some Vicoden, she was obviously too impared to be driving at all! I don’t quite understand why celebrities won’t call a driver under these circumstances. They know the consequences all too well..and that every little move they make is scrutinized by the ever so present paparozzi! It’s only fair that she recieves the mandatory sentence, not only to enforce the law but to make a statement as well. Celebrities should, under no circumstances, be held accountable for their actions just as much as anyone else! All too often, celebs are allowed to pay their way out of breaking the laws, which doesn’t say alot about our justice system! If every state had this mandatory jail sentence for DUI we would probably have alot more people using designated drivers and alot less fatalities on the highway!
