Police Charge Mischa Barton with DUI, Drug Possession

After her arrest early yesterday, Mischa Barton has been formally charged with misdemeanor DUI, possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, according to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. John Hocking.

The skinny actress, 21, who was pulled over around 3 a.m., has been ordered to appear in Beverly Hills, Calif., Court for arraignment on February 28, 2008.

The cops spotted Mischa Barton straddling two lanes of traffic and failing to signal while making a turn. Barton was arrested after being stopped by police and failing a field sobriety test, and subsequently held in custody on $10,000 bail.

Police released Barton around 10:05 a.m. Thursday. Her mother picked her up in a black Mercedes and carried Mischa’s paperwork. The former star of The OC left the station with arms crossed, and face covered with a scarf. She tried to lay down in the back of the car. She was given a police escort so nobody would follow her.
