According to her attorney, Shawn Holley, she’s been struggling with insomnia, which led her to take a prescribed sleep aid. Her breath level of alcohol read 0.08%.
She had said that she had one martini earlier in the day and that’s it. Jackie has said she had taken an Ambien while at home and the next thing she knew she was in the hospital and under arrest. When she crashed her car she wasn’t wearing pants.
“After arriving home from lunch with a friend, Jackie took a doctor prescribed Ambien. The next thing she recalls is waking up in the hospital,” her rep told Us Weekly at the time. “Her attorney is handling the matter, and we expect it to be resolved shortly. Jackie is extremely grateful to everyone who has reached out on her behalf.”
Jackie Warner Pleads Not Guilty in Assault, DUI Case
“We have letters and reports from Jackie’s doctors which prove a long history of insomnia and which strongly support our contention that Jackie was driving unconscious after taking Ambien, which had been prescribed to her,”
Holley (her lawyer) told TMZ. She added:
“I reached out to the D.A.’s Office weeks ago and was assured that deputies would review our reports before filing charges, We are extremely disappointed that the D.A.’s Office filed these charges without reviewing our evidence, as promised.”
However, she was not hurt according to E! News and Warner’s vehicle rolled back and hit a police car. Jackie got out of the car without trouble and was reportedly compliant with officials on the scene before the arrest.
Police aren’t sure how the car rolled back and the case is now assigned to a detective. In the past, Jackie had said after her show in 2010 ended:
“I didn’t like doing the type of TV that I was doing, which made me uncomfortable and uneasy,” wrote Warner. “I had succeeded in many ways, but always had very tumultuous relationships, which caused me quite a lot of misery. Shortly thereafter, I sold my clinic and gym and found myself wondering what’s next? My last TV show didn’t do well and the shooting conditions were so bad that I vowed never to do television again unless it was a fully positive experience.”
Warner also added that she had “quit drinking for a year and I quit dating for a year,” as well as relied on prayer to help her find a new purpose in life. Warner insisted that after hitting the gym more, she was “mentally and physically stronger than I have ever been in my life.”
