Kirsten Storms Arrested for DUI

Published: 9/11/07, 6:05 PM EDT

CULVER CITY, Calif. (AP) - Kirsten Storms, who voices the snippy cheerleader Bonnie Rockwaller in the animated Disney TV series "Kim Possible," was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Storms, who also appears in the daytime soap opera "General Hospital," was stopped Friday in this Los Angeles suburb after California Highway Patrol officers said they saw a lit cigarette tossed from her blue Mercedes-Benz CLK500 about 3 a.m.

Officers noticed "the odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from the car, according to a CHP report on the arrest. Storms, 23, was arrested after failing field sobriety tests, the report said.

She was jailed on the misdemeanor and released several hours later after posting $5,000 bail, authorities said.

A call to a representative for the actress was not immediately returned.

Storms' Rockwaller is the high school social rival to superhero Kim Possible on the long-running Disney series. She also plays Maxie Jones on ABC's "General Hospital" and was Belle Black on NBC's "Days of Our Lives" from 1999 to 2004

Liason, I have to comment.

She, if drunk, SHOULD have had a DD. (Designated driver, for those no in "the know.")

So there are no excuses. That's the whole point. You go out to got drunk; that's a given. So it stands to reason that you bring a DD.

And if you're drinking THAT much alcohol that you can't even make that choice -- something I don't buy because I've been VERY drunk and made the RIGHT decision to have someone drive me home, a friend -- then you shouldn't be drinking in the first place since you clearly can't hold your liquor AND make rational decisions.

ITA. She's not a silver spooner and doesn't sound like her driving indicated she'd been drinking. Tossing a cig outta the car is stupid - but granted I don't think any trash should be thrown out of cars (and have pulled over so people go pick up whatever they threw out if they're riding with me). She should get what the regular punishment is; no more and no less. Granted she probably won't get off as easy as the independently wealthy do, but it shouldn't have an impact on her job.

I agree with you on that, but getting drunk itself is a choice. You can stop yourself before you are so irrational/impaired that you make the decision to drink and drive.

I love Maxie, so I hope she isn't fired. I hope she learns her lesson and doesn't make the same mistake twice.

Nobody's comparing. I'm just speaking in terms of morals clauses, both pose issues. That was my main damn point. :rolleyes: People feel strongly about people who have posed nude just like they feel strongly about DUI's. Both change people's perceptions of other people. And I also said that I haven't a clue how what an ABC morals clause consists of.

But thank you for the lesson on how posing nude isn't a crime.

If it were a choice between keeping an actor/actress who took their clothes off BEFORE they joined a show, and some irresponsible idiot who got behind the wheel of a car while under the heavy influence of alchohol, I personaly think that I would choose the former every single time over the latter. It still baffles me that taking your clothes off gets a bigger reaction than driving drunk. It makes me think where people's uptight morals really lay.

IMPO, Kirsten should be gone from GH. And, she should do jail time. If a regular working person got busted for this, they MAY get probabtion the first time, and after that, have the damn book thrown at them. Why this is getting somewhat of a free pass because she's part of a couple on a show is beyond me.

And, I really don't care WHAT show she's a part of. What part she's playing means nothing to me. She broke the law. And, just because she didn't kill anyone else or herself doesn't mean [!@#$%^&*] to me. So it didn't happen.

THIS TIME.

What about next time? There was a baseball player for the Cardinals that was pulled over for drunk driving. He was let off without so much as a ticket, and the cops drove him home. Two weeks later, he plowed into the back of a flatbed truck, killing himself instantly. His family? They spent the time mourning his death by suing the tow truck driver, the police, and the bar he was at for being responsible for his death.

This young lady and others like her in the industry need to be taught a damn lesson, and maybe she'll think about it if she lost her job. Then maybe, just maybe, she will gain the damn maturity necessary to learn from this and grow up, not doing something this stupid again.

But also.......maybe the next time she'll plow into someone, and the outcome will be so much different.

And then.......I wonder what will be said on SON when that happens?

I can't speak for others of course but if that happened I would support her facing the maximum penalty and going to jail (I assume its automatic that they're going to jail). As for how long I really don't know how what the law states in regards to this but I'm sure whatever it is will be suitable.

Heaven forbid though that she does kill someone. And I don't know what the stats are for that really happening.

I can't belive you just said that. Seriously. The fact that she DIDN'T kill someone or herself is a miracle. Point is she MADE that decision, and the fact that she did and either didn't know the danger of it or didn't care is worrysome, as it is with every DUI that happens, every single day.

I don't know why...I just wrote it a few hours ago I believe.

Look you have your feelings on the subject I have mine. If someone got drunk and killed someone I was close to I'd have them punished to the full extent of the law.

However I do think if a person hasn't commited a really heinous crime (such as murder) that it shouldn't be this big news thing (on AOL or anywhere else). I don't think she should lose her job over it and I hope she doesn't.

Lol where was this three ton truck? As for as I know she was driving a small car.

And until this truck or w/e vehicle you're talking about HITS someone and kills them where exactly is this heinous crime you guys keep accusing me of being blase about?

Its a DUI. IF she hit someone then its manslaughter. But she didn't hit someone. Hence its not that serious. Don't see whats warped about it. You're just intent on making this a huge deal when it really isn't in the grand scheme of things.

Thats all I'm gonna say about it. I never said drinking and driving was a great activity. Nor did I say I want people to get killed. Try to remember that while you're handing your judgements out like God.

If you really think its THAT serious then petition GH or Disney. Or even better go march on Washington to get the punishment for DUI to the death penalty or something. Cuz if they do that then it will actually change something. If they do that then it becomes a serious matter because the punishment would be severe enough to warrant attention.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
