ATLANTA - Reese Witherspoon is "deeply embarrassed" about what she said to police officers during her husband's arrest in Atlanta. The Oscar-winning actress released a statement late Sunday apologizing for her behavior to police that began when her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was arrested early Friday for driving under the influence of alcohol. "I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said," Witherspoon said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I'm very sorry for my behavior. Her publicist, Meredith O'Sullivan Wasson, offered no other details. Witherspoon, 37, was arrested on a municipal charge of disorderly conduct early Friday after a state trooper said she wouldn't stay in the car while Toth was given a field sobriety test. She was released from jail after the Friday morning arrest and was in New York on Sunday night for the premiere of her new film, "Mud." The trooper noticed the car driven by her husband wasn't staying in its lane early Friday morning, so he initiated a traffic stop. He reported that Toth had droopy eyelids, watery, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol. Before the field sobriety test began, Witherspoon got out of the car, was told to get back in and obeyed, the report said. News of the arrest broke shortly before Witherspoon arrived on the "Mud" red carpet. "I can't say anything because I don't know," said director Jeff Nichols. I literally -- the first guy on the press line to say something was the first time I heard about it so I gotta go figure it out. Matthew McConaughey, who plays the lead role in "Mud" and is represented by Toth, said "I'm not going to comment on that because it's too fresh."
