Los Angeles Attorney's Office Files DUI Charges Against Actress
The Los Angeles Attorney's Office has filed two DUI charges against actress Lori Petty. The charges stem from a May 30 arrest involving injuries. Petty, 45, who has had film roles including Point Break, Tank Girl and A League of Their Own, is accused of hitting a skateboarder with her car while driving under the influence in the Venice Beach area. Additionally, the actress was charged with driving without proof of insurance.
