Rolonda Watts Arrested For DUI in Hollywood By Laura Fishman on March 10, 2011 3:12 PM | No TrackBacks

A former New York news anchor and talk show host was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Hollywood on the morning of March 5, which will make her the latest celebrity to facing drunk driving charges. According to CBS News, the former host Rolonda Watts is now out of jail on $15,000 bail.

Watts is known for being a correspondent for "Inside Edition" as well as her talk shows "The Rolonda Show" and "A BraveHeart View." If she is convicted of DUI in California, the host could be facing criminal penalties that include imprisonment, probation, fines, community service, license suspension and attendance to alcohol education classes. Other consequences of a DUI can include an increase in insurance rates and issues with future background checks that could affect a person's ability to get a job. Hence, it might be a good idea for Watts to get a hold of a DUI attorney immediately.

Motorists traveling through Hollywood might want to be on the lookout for cops enforcing traffic laws in the area. Many people are arrested on suspicion of DUI in the Hollywood area each year. This includes Christina Aguilera's boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, who was arrested after failing field sobriety tests on March 2. As we reported in an earlier blog post, Aguilera was also arrested on Sunset Boulevard on suspicion of public drunkenness at the same time Rutler was taken into police custody.

Rolonda Watts is scheduled to appear in court on March 30, where the public will see how her case develops.
