“I could smell a light odor of alcoholic beverage coming from her breath as she spoke to me. She denied consuming any alcoholic beverage,” the police officer wrote. “I advised her that I could smell the odor of alcoholic beverage on her breath. She stated that the odor was possibly coming from her clothing.”

According to the report, Biermann admitted to smoking a THC vape pen and the officer “observed signs of impairment” including a “noticeable sway.”

The office says in the report that they then asked her to “provide a breath sample” and she “refused.”

The police officer then placed her under arrest and handcuffed her. From there Biermann consented to a blood test, whcih would be conducted at the station. When she arrived there, she then refused.

“Ariana stated that she no longer wanted to consent to the blood test,” and her driver’s license was “seized.”

Justin Spizman, Ariana’s lawyer, told TMZ in a statement: “Ariana was involved in a minor fender bender. When police arrived on scene, the investigating officer immediately initiated an investigation for DUI.

She wholly denies these allegations and intends to fight these charges because she is not guilty of them.”
