BB3 Drunk Driving Arrests
Amy Crews - Turns out another "Big Brother 3" contestant knows what it's like to get nailed for drunk driving and other crimes, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Amy Crews, 24, was arrested in February 1999 and charged with driving while intoxicated after crashing her Toyota in a one-car accident near her Arkansas home. According to this West Memphis Police Department report, Crews's car struck a concrete mailbox, rolled onto its roof, and slid for 25 yards before stopping. When cops arrived at 3:30 AM, Crews not only failed a field sobriety test, but registered a .14 on a breathalyzer machine (in 1999, the Arkansas legal limit was a blood alcohol content of .10).
At the time of her DWI arrest, Crews was 20. Since 1935, the legal drinking age in Arkansas has been 21.
In March 1999, Crews pleaded no contest in Crittenden County District Court to the misdemeanor DWI charge. She was hit with a one-year suspended jail term, fined $1000, directed to pay court costs of $300, and ordered to attend alcohol safety school and an alcohol education class.
Chiara Berti one of the HG on Big Brother 3 was arrested for drunken driving just weeks before the premiere show. The 25-year-old marketing rep from New York City was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol on May 26 and charged with three misdemeanors, including driving under the influence and driving without a license, while she was in Los Angeles for the final round of Big Brother auditions. She was stopped by police about 2:40 a.m. with a blood-alcohol level above California's 0.08 limit. She spent five hours in jail and was released on $2,500 bail.
