Former Porn Star Jenna Jameson Arrested Following Solo Car Crash

The 38-year-old porn star, Jenna Jameson, was arrested Friday morning after being involved in a vehicle accident resulting from her drunk driving.

According to reports, Jameson ran her vehicle into a light pole in Westminster, California at around 1:30 in the morning last May 25.

Witnesses said that Jameson seems to be intoxicated at the time of the accident. Thus, police officers conducted a field sobriety test on her. After confirming that Jameson was indeed driving under the influence (DUI), authorities charged and arrested the iconic porn star accordingly. 

Jameson was cited for her DUI but six hours after she was booked, she was released upon paying her bail. However, she was still required to appear in court for her DUI arrest.

The authorities confirmed that Jameson sustained minor injuries from the said incident. However, she refused to accept medical attention to treat her injuries.

At present, no comments were yet released by Jameson but according to her spokesperson, she was well at home.

DUI penalties vary from state to state but generally, they can result into drivers’ license suspension ranging from 90 days to 5 years based on the severity of the case. At some instances, drivers can also be obligated to attend alcohol rehabilitation and driving safety classes. For succeeding offenses, drivers can have their vehicles impounded; but of course, there would always be the possibility of fines and jail time.

Jameson’s last appearance on court was in 2010, for a domestic abuse case between her and the UFC brawler and boyfriend Tito Ortiz but the case was soon dismissed. Now, they are currently building a happy family together.

The iconic porn star played a great part in the porn industry in the late 1990s and became well known after she launched an Internet porn hub and had a guest hosting stint. Also, her autobiography, “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star,” became a New York Times bestseller.

Although it was a single vehicle accident and no injuries to other parties were incurred, Jameson was still required to seek legal advice from a Los Angeles accident attorney to mount a defense for her drunk driving case that resulted to several damages to the city’s property.
