Vivica A. Fox A-rrested for DUI

Posted Mar 21st 2007 5:33PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Vivica A. Fox has been busted for DUI.

It happened last night on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley at 10:57 PM. We're told Fox passed a marked black and white while going approximately 80 mph. Sources say the officers went after the 2007 Cadillac Escalade she was driving.

The officers administered a field sobriety test -- which Fox was unable to perform. The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant was then placed under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Fox was taken to Van Nuys jail where she submitted to two breathalyzer tests. CHP spokesman Leland Tang told TMZ, "It was definitely over the .08 legal limit."

Fox was cited and released on her own recognizance and ordered to appear in court.

18. As the daughter of a beautiful young mother who was killed many years ago by a drunk driver, I sincerely
hope that this will be a wake-up call for Vivica (whom I voted for a lot on Dancing w/Stars).
Regardless what happens to the drunk behind the wheel, what will it take for people to realize that driving drunk
destroys OTHER peoples' families.

20. Another celeb getting busted but I guess it's good in a way that now it's made more public for celebs to get busted. I guess they always got busted in the past but no one ever really knew. Vivica, you are a beautiful smart black woman. Don't get caught up in the Hollywood game and go down for something stupid. I have faith in you!

23. Its good she is getting charged with dui if she is guilty. Just because she is an actress/entertainer, doesn't mean she should get special treatment. The sports industry is entertainment also, and the players make millions of dollars. they are subject to random drug testing, suspensions and fines for violations, including dui. The movie and music industry should have something in their contracts with stars who are making millions of dollars and subject them to some penalties also. The pro athletes and the actors/ actresses are not considered just another person on the street, but they are still human and do the same dumb things John Q Public of anystreet , USA does and goes to jail for. They should suffer the same consequences as anyone else.

29. Are these celebrities attempting to outdo one another on DUI charges now? Is that the new hip thing in Hollywood?

30. There is a better way.
I found it and so can you.
I have not spent one DIME on alcohol...I have not got a DUI nor have I abused my family or friends.
Life is great sober.

If I think, I won't drink
If I drink, I CAN'T think.

Be safe....

Oh, I had a cousin that was drunk, killed a guy that was walking along the side of the road, he served 3 years in prison and this act ultimately killed him. You see, he could not get it out of his mind and within 2 years of release from prison, he drank himself to death.... WOW, for what?
