Debby Ryan, who is best known for her roles in Disney shows, has been arrested for drunk driving.
The 22-year-old "Jessie" star was arrested for the felony DUI last week in Los Angeles when she reportedly crashed her 2016 Audi into a Mercedes. She ended was charged and was released on a whopping $100,000 bail.
Law enforcement said that since the driver of the Mercedes claimed injury, Ryan was arrested at the scene for the felony DUI after giving a field sobriety test. When there's an injury during a DUI, an arrest for a felony must take place, but since she blew a .11 and it was such a minor injury, the police dropped it to a misdemeanor.
Ryan has been charged with two criminal offenses for driving under the influence and driving with blood alcohol level over the legal limit, which is .08.
The young star started out as an actress on the Disney series "The Suite Life On Deck," which was the spinoff of the hit series "The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody," from 2009 to 2011. Following that, she was the star of the Disney Channel movie "16 Wishes," and she then became the star of her own Disney series "Jessie," which ran until 2015.
This comes just a month after Ryan spoke out about being a role model to the younger generation while at Nickelodeon's Kid Choice Awards.
"I feel like it's so easy for us as women to be inspired by men and try to do it like them," she explained at the time. "But there are so many female role models that are younger than me, or my age, that I'm around that are so talented and kicking butt."
As for her role models, she said, "I think it's mostly just people who try the best that they can. I think we're all at different levels in our lives and something that I'm able to do and having always been able to do...been able to find inspiration and beauty, and literally, anyone, everyone has something that they're good at so the people I mentor, I learn a lot from and I grow a lot from."
Ryan's rep has not yet returned any requests for comment.
