Senator John Kerry's daughter, Alexandra Forbes Kerry, arrested for DUI

The daughter of Sen. John Kerry has been arrested in Hollywood for allegedly driving drunk.

At 12:40 AM, Alexandra, a 36-year-old film producer and director, was pulled over for a traffic stop, then arrested and booked at LAPD's Hollywood station.

Police say Alexandra was pulled over for violating a traffic law. They then conducted a field sobriety test and it appeared she was under the influence of an intoxicant and placed under arrest.

Cops took her to the station and then conducted a formal blood alcohol test which showed a level of .06. Under California law, the legal limit is .08, but a driver can still be prosecuted, even under a .08 reading, if the vehicle is being operated unsafely due to alcohol.

Officer Bruce Borihanh says she was booked at the Hollywood police station and was held for about five hours. She was released at about 5:30 a.m. after posting $5,000 bail.

Alexandra Kerry is the eldest daughter of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the Democrats' 2004 presidential nominee.

She has produced documentaries and has had several small acting roles.

Sen. John Kerry's office released the following statement:
"Alexandra Kerry was pulled over for an expired registration and was released after the results of a breathalyzer test at the police station were under the legal limit. Senator Kerry supports his daughter and will have no further comment on a private matter."
