According to a statement released by L.A. County Sheriff

Monica boulevards after she was seen driving her Range

The statement said: “During Ms. Barton's detention, it was
determined that she was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the
influence of an alcoholic beverage. Ms. Barton was arrested and transported to
West Hollywood Sheriff's station where the booking process was completed
without incident,” People reports.
At 3:10 a.m. she was
arrested, according to an arrest report acquired by TMZ.
After 10 a.m.
Barton was released for a $10,000 bail, according to a West

possession of illegal narcotics, but no details were available yet.
