Estella Warren arrested in L.A.
Just a month before her scheduled induction into the Peterborough and District Sports Hall of Fame, actress Estella Warren has been arrested in Los Angeles.
The Peterborough native was arrested for covering her boyfriend with cleaning fluid. Sources tell TMZ the
star was taken into custody early on Sunday following an argument at her Marina del Rey apartment.
The actress was booked for misdemeanour domestic violence and released after posting $20,000 bail.
The unnamed boyfriend is reportedly OK. He declined medical treatment on the scene.
It’s not her first run-in with the law - Warren was slapped with four misdemeanour charges following a DUI arrest in 2011.
She reportedly slammed her Toyota Prius into three parked cars and was held on suspicion of DUI, but allegedly resisted arrest and tried to kick a police officer.
The actress was escorted to a local police station, but managed to slip out of her handcuffs and run out of the building during proceedings.
Charges for DUI, hit-and-run driving, battery on a cop and resisting arrest were officially filed against Warren in June 2011 and she was ordered to attend an 18-month alcohol programme after agreeing to plead guilty to DUI.
The remaining three charges against her were dropped.
Warren was also sentenced to 60 months of summary probation and ordered to pay costs and penalties. 3:00 p.m., TAS @ CCI (sr/jr); LCVI @ IEW (sr/jr); ASCVI @ SMSS (sr/jr); BHS @ FFSS (jr) 8:30 a.m., Varsity Games @ TASSS
At the time she said, “I take my actions and their consequences very seriously. I can’t express enough how grateful I am that no one was injured or hurt. Moving forward I am focusing all my efforts on my career, my family and being a good influence to others.”
She also checked herself into a treatment centre.
Warren is slated to be inducted into the Peterborough and District Sports Hall of Fame on June 2 at the Evinrude Centre for her synchronized swimming career in Peterborough prior to becoming a model and actress.
Joining her in the 38th annual induction class are: Ernie and Ruth Ferguson, who helped found the Peterborough Figure Skating Club 70 years ago, and athletes Mark Bedlington, Pat Devlin and Jim Fife along with builder Don Sherry. 11:00 a.m., CSS @ TASSS (jr/sr) 12:00 p.m., SPSS vs. HCSS (jr/sr) @ TASSS 3:00 p.m., ASCVI @ TASSS (jr/sr); KCVI @ CSS (sr); HCSS @ SPSS (sr); SMSS @ CCI (jr) 9:30 a.m., Kawartha Championship, St. Mary's (Cobourg)
The first official laps of this year’s tour is less than a week away, but Brandt Graham already finds himself in an enviable position.
The talented, second generation speedster from Orono – who’ll celebrate his 19th birthday on Friday – will look to earn consecutive championships on the Lucas Oil Sportsman Cup Series.
A former Mini Stocker at Kawartha and Peterborough Speedways, the youngster forced the provincial motorsports com- munity to sit-up and take notice with an impressive freshman sea- son in 2015 that saw him claim the rookie of the year honours and his first career victory, while pocketing a fourth place finish in the final point standings.
A year later, Brandt Graham was the talk of the tour with a streak of 3 straight main event wins – including a $1,000 bonus payout for taking back-to-back checkered flags at Sauble Speedway – on the way to becoming the youngest title-holder in LOSC history.
“We’ve had a couple of great years on the tour and I’m really looking forward to getting things underway for the new season,” Graham said.
“Three shows are at Flamboro and we had the chance to test there a while ago. The car felt great and we used time to try some different set-up ideas. We’re always doing our homework and I’m confident that we have the equipment to get the job done. My birthday is the day before the first event of the year and I can’t think of a better place to celebrate than in victory lane.”
With his team focused on preparation, Brandt Graham says the crew nearly took apart the entire car during the off-season. The frame, cage suspension components and drivetrain were checked over. Welds were examined and then the car was painstakingly and meticulously put back together. Parts lists were drawn-up and worksheets put into place for each race date on the schedule.
“The people who work on the car put in some long hours in the shop and at the track, but we’re all working toward the same goal,” the driver of the No. 14 Chevrolet SS admitted. “
From rookie of the year to series champion are a couple of big steps. From this point forward, we’ll need to maintain the same level of success and that starts and ends with a lot of hard work, along with the right amount of racing luck. If everything comes together the way we’re hoping, I think it’ll be a great year.”
