Nicole Richie was alone Sunday night when cops pulled her over in Burbank, Calif., and arrested her on DUI charges.
The pin-thin starlet was talking on her cell phone when cops pulled over her black Mercedes SUV, which matched a 911 caller's description of a car driving the wrong way down L.A.'s 134 freeway.
After failing a field sobriety test, Nicole was taken into custody at 4:50 am.
According to TMZ.com, the 5'1", 85-pound reality star told Glendale police she had taken Vicodin and smoked marijuana after preliminary screenings that indicated she was not under the influence of alcohol.
"Extra's" also learned Nicole was released on $15,000 bail.
Sunday night served as a painful reminder of Nicole's not-so-simple past; she faced charges of possessing heroin in 2003 before kicking her addictive habit in rehab.
Richie has also fought a serious weight disorder, and this September, she finally checked herself into a treatment center.
