Danielle Fishel, Topenga on Boy Meets World, Finishes Out 2007, The Year of the DUI

Just when we thought it was over, 2007, year of the celebrity DUI, rolls on with Washington Post reporting that Danielle Fishel, Topenga on Boy Meets World, was arrested last week on a drunken driving warrant from Los Angeles County, police said.

Fishel was arrested Thursday December 20 just before 5 a.m. after officers stopped a car she was in, said Newport Beach Sgt. James Rocker. She was released from jail shortly after her arrest.

Fishel grew up in Yorba Linda and spent more than seven years playing Topanga, the love interest of "Boy Meets World" star Ben Savage, brother of "Wonder Years" star Fred Savage.

In 2006, Fishel became the spokeswoman for NutriSystem after she announced on The Tyra Banks show that she was so thrilled about losing 20 pounds with the diet program that she wanted to be the company's spokeswoman. In February, Fishel became a special correspondent for the Tyra Banks show.
