“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.”

“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. Despite Ariana’s constant invocation that she was upset and anxious from the minor accident, the officer incorrectly concluded she was impaired by alcohol. That was not the case. She wholly denies these allegations and intends to fight these charges because she is not guilty of them.”
Heavy reached out to Zolciak’s rep for comment and has not received a response.
