Senator John Kerry’s daughter was arrested yesterday in Las Angeles on suspicion of driving while under the influence. Police told Fox News that 36-year-old film producer Alexandra Forbes Kerry was released on $5,000 bail after tests showed a blood-alcohol reading of 0.06. She was still under the legal limit in California, which is 0.08, but drivers can still be prosecuted for dangerous driving if any alcohol is found in their system. It has been alleged that Kerry was pulled over at 12.40am after violating a traffic law.
