Nicole Richie was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs yesterday.
The Simple Life star was arrested on December 11 last year when her car was found blocking a freeway car pool lane. She failed a sobriety test, telling officers on the scene that she had taken prescription painkiller Vicodin.
A statement released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office yesterday confirmed that she has now been charged with driving under the influence of "an alcoholic beverage and a drug".
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for February 21, but Richie will not be asked to attend in person.
