 Life got a little complicated for "The Simple Life" star Nicole Richie early Monday.
The daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence after her car was reported headed the wrong way on a freeway.
Richie, 25, was arrested without incident after she failed a field sobriety test given by California Highway Patrol officers, CHP Officer Todd Workman said.
911 CALLS
Richie's 2005 black Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle was stopped in the car pool lane of State Highway 134 in Burbank.
Other motorists had placed 911 emergency calls around 12:30 a.m. (PST) about a car headed against traffic on the freeway, Workman said. Descriptions of the vehicle matched Richie's. When officers arrived, they found her car facing the right direction.
MARIJUANA AND VICODIN
"She volunteered the information that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin," the prescription painkiller, Workman said. No drugs were found on her or in the car.
Richie was booked in Glendale for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, tested for drugs and released later Monday morning, Workman said. The results of the test haven't been determined, he said.
Bail was set at $15,000, but Richie was released on her own recognizance, Glendale police Agent John Balian said.

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
