Erin Brockovich Arrested on Suspicion of Boating While Intoxicated

Environmental activist Erin Brockovich was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of boating while intoxicated at Lake Mead near Las Vegas, according to a report from CBS Los Angeles.

The Agoura Hills resident was arrested late Friday night following breath tests that showed her blood-alcohol level was just over twice the legal limit of .08, the report said.

Brockovich was portrayed by Julia Roberts in a 2000 movie about her fight over the pollution of a small town in California.
