Nicole Richie Popped for DUI *UPDATE*
Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI early Monday morning, the California Highway Patrol has confirmed to PEOPLE.
"At approximately 12:31 a.m., Altadena CHP were notified of a 2005 black Mercedes SUV going the wrong way on the 134 Highway," an official tells PEOPLE, after two different witnesses had called 911.
"However," the spokesperson continued, "when the officers came into contact with the SUV in the carpool lane, it was at a complete stop facing the right direction, in the city of Burbank.
"When officers approached, the vehicle was taken off the highway, and Richie was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs."
The arrest of the Simple Life star, 24, was first reported by TMZ.com.
Agent John Balian with the Glendale, Calif., police force told PEOPLE: "CHP used our facilities to book and arrest Nicole Richie." Balian said that Richie's booking sheet showed she is 5'1" and 85 lbs. Her bail was posted at $15,000, and she was released at 7 a.m, he said, adding: "She was booked without incident and was cooperative."
In February 2003, Richie was arrested by sheriff's deputies in Malibu and charged with possession of heroin, it was then reported by the Smoking Gun Web site. She was also driving with a suspended license.
She has since been a patient in a drug-rehabilitation hospital and recently was treated for a weight disorder.
