The Rosemont Public Safety Department told People magazine on December 3 that they reviewed the surveillance footage and did not find any evidence she was drugged. The department added that the investigation is ongoing and they have requested hospital records.

She added, "That was the scariest feeling I have ever felt. I felt so helpless. This has been a horrifying experience for me that is severely affecting my mental health. I cannot sleep over this it’s a very scary feeling not knowing what happened to me. I believe I was drugged. Something happened to me.”

View StoryThe police stated, "While video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink. We can confirm that a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar which is standard practice for bartenders to do."
As for the hospital records, the authorities said, "We cannot, however, confirm at this time if or what specific chemical testing the hospital may have conducted,” explaining they are working with Tara "to receive those records which she has also not received.”
Detectives plan to follow up on any leads from those results, but added, "At this time there is no criminal act that has been committed and there is no one we are currently investigating. While we do not have any evidence that a drink was tampered with, it is a good reminder to never leave a drink unattended. If you ever believe you have been drugged or feel unsafe, please reach out to local authorities."
