Joyce DeWitt Busted!
Former Three’s Company star Joyce DeWitt was busted on charges of drunk driving over the weekend after she got caught driving past a traffic barracade. Upon closer inspection, DeWitt apparently smelled of booze and the rest, as they say, is history. She got busted, y’all:
TMZ has learned “Three’s Company” star Joyce DeWitt was arrested for DUI on July 4th in El Segundo, California. Law enforcement sources tell us DeWitt drove past a barricade Saturday afternoon — and when an officer approached her, she smelled like booze. She was given field sobriety tests and then arrested for suspicion of DUI. The 60-year-old actress, who played Janet Wood on the 80’s sitcom, posted bail for $5,000.
Dang. It sucks that Joyce DeWitt, who I loved as Janet on Three’s Company, would be foolish enough to allegedly endanger the lives of others by choosing to drive drunk. As much as I loved her on TV, I hope she and all other folks convicted of DUI are punished to the full extent of the law. When I heard of DeWitt’s arrest, I was reminded of when Dawn Wells (who played Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island) got busted for marijuana possession last year. What’s with all the classic TV stars turning to a life of crime these days?

Quite the look she’s rockin’ there! Honestly, they need to throw the book at drunk drivers. Both my hubbies parents were killed when a drunk driver slammed into them, so my sympathy is at nil for these people.

It is quite sad the number of people that get DUIs. Why in the world would anyone drink and drive? Gotta forgive her because she is human, but dang folks, call a cab!

getting busted for marijuana is not a life of crime.

It is one thing to get trashed and then drive a car- always bad.
But how many of you have had a couple of glasses of wine or something at dinner and then driven home? You could be legally intoxicated. You could have delayed reaction time that could lead to an accident if, for example, an animal or something dashes out in front of you or the driver in front of you stops short.
A friend of mine used to teach defensive driving and would ask the people in class if they had ever had a drink or two while out to dinner. After almost all raised their hands, he pointed out that the only thing separating them from many people who have gotten DUI’s is luck. I am certainly not defending Joyce DeWitt or anyone else who drinks and drives, but I am just saying, it can be a slippery slope.
