Overview
- Search-warrant records reported by TMZ say Rycroft told officers she was hit by another driver, but a witness said her SUV was the only vehicle involved and had been swerving.
- Officers documented bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a slight odor of alcohol, and they reported finding cups with fresh liquid believed to be alcohol inside the vehicle.
- Police in Southlake, Texas, say the incident damaged a roadside tree, involved no other cars and resulted in no injuries.
- Rycroft was arrested on Sept. 23, booked in Tarrant County, held about eight hours and released on a $1,000 bond with a promise to appear in court.
- Attorney Bret Martin said an arrest is not proof of guilt and called for a review of officer conduct and toxicology, as media outlets circulated her booking photo.
