Reese Witherspoon Told Arresting Cop She Didn’t Believe He was A Real Police Officer

Share

Thanks to the Smoking Gun website, we have the arrest report for Reese Witherspoon (real name Laura Jean) and husband (and agent) Jim Toth. They were driving a Ford Fusion, and driving it on the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. It’s a good thing they were pulled over by the cop. Reese did ask if the cop knew who she was, but even better, told him she didn’t believe he was a real police officer. She was handcuffed. What were these two thinking? Witherspoon has two kids with Ryan Philippe, and one with Toth. Why didn’t they have a driver? And why were they in a Ford Fusion? And why did they get into it so drunk?
