Friday, December 02, 2005
Hollywood couple Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn escaped legal trouble in Arizona on Tuesday after police pulled them over and noticed an "odor of alcohol" in the car they were driving.
According to entertainment news website TMZ.com, police in Scottsdale, Arizona, pulled the couple over for a "minor traffic infraction" and then advised driver Vaughn not to get back behind the wheel after checking his blood alcohol levels in a field sobriety test.
Sgt. Mark Clark of the Scottsdale Police Department confirms officers did stop the couple and perform a breathalyzer test, but allowed the couple to drive off with friends after warning Vaughn not to drive.
The couple left their car on the side of the road.
A police spokesman insists the officer who stopped the couple did not have probable cause to arrest Vaughn.
Aniston and Vaughn were in Scottsdale after spending the Thanksgiving weekend at exclusive spa resort The Sanctuary. Sources say the pair stayed in a private mountainside home with a tennis court and pool—at a cost of $2,000 per night. They were also seen together in the gym.
Celebrity couple Britney Spears and Kevin Federline stayed at the same resort in April.
