We’ve all heard of celebrities being pulled over by police for various
reasons. This week, reports surfaced that Reese Witherspoon and her husband
were pulled over after police suspected her husband was driving their
car drunk in another state. According to reports, the actress was also
arrested after police say she tried to defend her husband to police in
an unusual way, by asking the police if they knew who she was.

Reports say that both Witherspoon and her husband were arrested. Her husband
will face a
DUIcharge and she will face a disorderly conduct charge. These incidents might
happen more than people would think. It is important when dealing with
police to remember your rights, but also to respect the police so additional
charges aren’t filed. Even being a passenger in a car could result
in charges, as it did in this case.

After an arrest for drunk driving or other criminal accusations in New
Jersey, it might be wise for a person to speak with an experienced criminal
defense attorney. They can help the person or people who are arrested
understand and defend their rights.

An attorney can ask important questions regarding the arrest and the charges
that were filed to make sure everything was done within the law. A criminal
defense can be formed to help rigorously defend a person’s reputation
and hopefully clear them of the charges. It is important that a person’s
rights aren’t violated throughout the legal process. An attorney can
ensure the person’s rights are protected and help them work through
the legal process.
