On Sunday morning, NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Command officers directed Bridges to pull over on new South Head Road in Bellevue Hill for a mandatory ‘random breath testing’. After the test returned a positive result, police arrested the trainer and took her to Waverley Police Station, where she returned a reading of .086.
Bridges has since issued a statement to The Daily Telegraph, calling the incident a “terrible mistake” and an “error in judgement”.
“I would like to express my deep regret for breaking the law, this was a terrible mistake and an error of judgement,” she said in a statement according to the publication.
“This behaviour is inexcusable, and I am absolutely devastated and embarrassed to find myself in this position.”
Bridges’ also confirmed in the statement that she has since split from her long-term partner, Steve ‘Commando’ Willis, revealing that the “emotional turmoil” of her break-up has affected her decision making.
“It has been a very difficult time for me the last few weeks dealing with the break-up of my long-term relationship,” Bridges continued.
“This is by no means an excuse for my behaviour but I feel the emotional turmoil I have been going through has impacted my decision making. I am extremely sorry for my actions.”
NSW Police confirmed the star’s arrest earlier today, the statement also disclosing that a five-year-old child was also in the car. It has not yet been confirmed whether the child was Bridges’ son Axel, who she shares with Steve Willis.
Bridges was given a future court attendance notice for mid-range PCA and is due to appear at Waverley Local Court on February 18.
