- Rosie O’Donnell’s Daughter Chelsea O’Donnell Arrested for 3rd Time While Out on Bail (newsbreak.com)
Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter, Chelsea, has been arrested for a third time for alleged drug offenses. Police pulled over a vehicle in Wisconsin on November 18th due to loud exhaust. Chelsea, who was a passenger, had “pick marks” on her face.
After a K9 alerted to the presence of drugs, Chelsea was ordered out of the car. Police found Naloxone, used to reverse opiate overdoses, in the trunk. A search of Chelsea revealed a smoking device containing meth residue in her bra.
During her arrest, Chelsea was deemed “argumentative” and handcuffed. A second search at the jail uncovered prescription pills, including methamphetamine, hydrocodone, lamotrigine, and Alprazolam.
Chelsea faces five charges, including felony counts for meth and narcotic possession. She is also charged with resisting arrest and drug paraphernalia possession. Days before this arrest, she had been ordered to abstain from alcohol and drugs while out on bail.
Chelsea’s next court date is scheduled for December 12th. Her mother, Rosie O’Donnell, has spoken out about her daughter’s struggles with addiction, saying that it is “not new” for their family.
