Barbara Walters' Daughter Arrested for DUI

Barbara Walters' daughter is arrested for driving under the influence.

Barbara Walters covers breaking news reports, but there’s one recent event she probably won’t be publicly talking about.

Her daughter, Jacqueline Walters Danforth, was arrested on May 19th for driving under the influence.

Witnesses contacted police in Naples, Florida because a vehicle was parked on the side of the road without the headlights on. Officers responded to the scene and found Danforth in the driver’s seat and a male on the passenger’s side.

According to officers, both vehicle occupants appeared to be drunk. When police tried to detain the man, Danforth allegedly got rowdy and began shouting at law enforcement workers.

Eventually Danforth took a breathalyzer test. She blew a .218, which is well over the legal limit.

Recently another unlikely celebrity was arrested. The Legally Blonde actress, Reese Witherspoon was charged with disorderly conduct after allegedly getting mouthy with a cop.

A Georgia state trooper stopped the vehicle she was in because the car was weaving in and out of the lane. Witherspoon's husband, 42-year-old James Toth was behind the wheel. When Witherspoon refused to sit and be quiet, the trooper cuffed her.
