Actress/model Angie Everhart has been arrested for drink driving - just days after splitting from longtime love Joe Pesci.

The 38-year-old was arrested shortly after 2am last Thursday (24Apr08) in Los Angeles after failing a sobriety test. According to TMZ.com, Everhart persuaded police officers to allow her to use the toilet in a nearby restaurant before taking the test, which she subsequently failed.

She is also reported to have refused to take part in any chemical testing because she claimed her attorney had told her not to. The Denial star was held on $15,000 (#7,500) bail but was released later that day.

She is due in court on 15 May (08). It hasn't been a good seven days for Sylvester Stallone's ex - last week (ends25Apr08), Pesci ended his engagement to Everhart, nine months after proposing. The couple had been together for seven years. (CAM&LJ/WNWCZM/KL)
