AceShowbiz - Details about Ariana Biermann's DUI arrest are here. According to a police report, the daughter of Kim Zolciak-Biermann refused to take both breathalyzer and a blood test when she was arrested in Georgia on Saturday, August 13 after colliding with another vehicle while driving.
Obtained by Us Weekly, the police report featured the reporting officer claiming that Ariana was not sober based on his observations even though she denied drinking. "I advised [Ariana] that I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath. She stated the odor was possibly from her clothing," the officer detailed in the document.
While she denied consuming alcohol before driving, the "Don't Be Tardy..." alum admitted that "she had smoked a THC vape pen the night before."
In the documents, the police officer went on to say, "I conducted field sobriety evaluations with Ariana and observed signs of impairment. I observed that she had a noticeable sway during the evaluations." The police officer added that a fellow officer conducted a Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test and "observed four out of six clues."
Additionally, it was said Ariana refused when she was asked "to provide a breath sample to the preliminary breath test." The reality TV star initially agreed to do a blood test, but she later changed her mind when she was taken to jail.
Ariana and her high school boyfriend Hudson McLeroy were busted for DUI in Georgia. The 20 year-old, who was released from prison after posting a $5,120 bond, was cited with driving under the influence of alcohol, underage possession/purchase of alcohol and misdemeanor improper/erratic lane change. Insisting that she's not guilty of the charges, she announced on Saturday that she's planning to fight the charges.
"Ariana was involved in a minor fender bender. When police arrived on scene, the investigating officer immediately initiated an investigation for DUI," her lawyer, Justin Spizman, said in a statement. "Despite Ariana's constant invocation that she was upset and anxious from the minor accident, the officer incorrectly concluded she was impaired by alcohol. That was not the case. She wholly denies these allegations and intends to fight these charges because she is not guilty of them."
