Dash-cam video shows confrontation that led to Reese Witherspoon’s arrest in Atlanta

ATLANTA – A dash-cam video of actress Reese Witherspoon’s recent disorderly-conduct arrest provides a rare glimpse of one of Hollywood’s best-known actresses unfiltered as she takes on a no-nonsense Georgia state trooper following a traffic stop.

In video of the April 19 early-morning incident in Atlanta, posted Thursday by the website TMZ, the 37-year-old actress seeks to intercede as her husband is being administered a field sobriety test by the trooper.

Trooper First Class J. Pyland repeatedly tells Witherspoon to stay in the car. Witherspoon is equally determined to get out and engage him, even at one point feigning to be pregnant.

Earlier Thursday, the actress appeared Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to apologize for her behaviour, acknowledging that she said “all kinds of crazy things.”
