JAIME Pressly has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI).
The My Name Is Earl actress — who was arrested last month after police performed a sobriety test when they pulled her over for allegedly committing a traffic violation — has been officially charged for the offense by the Santa Monica City Attorney.
According to gossip website TMZ, the 33-year-old star registered a blood alcohol level of .22 — which is more than three times the legal limit for driving — and could now face up to six months behind bars.
Jaime’s charge comes just days after she filed for divorce from her husband of 16 months — entertainment lawyer Simran Singh — at the Los Angeles Superior Court.
However, the actress is now said to be concerned about how the split will affect her three-year-old son Dezi James, whose father is her former fiance DJ Eric Calvo.
“I think it comes down to she married the guy too fast. He seemed like a good guy but he is super full of himself and puts her down for everything. He picks fights with her for any little thing,” a source said.
“She doesn’t want to confuse Dezi. Her baby is her top priority. She’s a strong girl though and she will come out of this fine.”
