Greetings all,
I can tell you right now that I never thought that I would be writing about Christina Aguilera being arrested for being drunk in public.
The details and reason for the arrest are far too weird not to share…the full story can be found here
The story thus far, Christina Aguilera and boyfriend Matthew Rutler were driving home in the early hours this morning. Mr Rutler was driving and Miss Aguilera was a passenger. Apparently they were pulled over and arrests were made;
Mr Rutler – arrested for driving under the influence
Miss Aguilera – arrested for public intoxication
First up, I am not trying to excuse anyone for drink driving, there’s absolutely no excuse BUT how can someone who is a passenger in a car be charged with public intoxication? I guess it depends on what you define as public intoxication…
California Penal Code 647(f) which is the code for public intoxication, as explained here;
Who is found in any public place under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any combination of any intoxicating liquor, drug, controlled substance, or toluene, in a condition that he or she is unable to exercise care for his or her own safety or the safety of others, or by reason of his or her being under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, controlled substance, toluene, or any combination of any intoxicating liquor, drug, or toluene, interferes with or obstructs or prevent the free use of any street, sidewalk, or other public way.
It’s one thing for Miss Aguilera to be taken to the Sheriff’s Station if SHE CHOSE to stay with her boyfriend, otherwise shouldn’t they have just put her in a taxi and sent her home? (or other vehicle that celebrities use?)
Is it just me or do you think that someone still might be mad at Christina for making a bit of a boo-boo at the SuperBowl??
Just a thought…
