When someone is pulled over, questioned and ultimately arrested for California DUI, there is often a reason that police decide to pull a driver off to the side of the road in the first place. While there are California DUI checkpoints that are administered from time to time where most if not all passing vehicle drivers are questioned, most instances in this regard involve a driver doing something that attracts the attention of police. In regards to the Los Angeles DUI case that was initiated against the boyfriend of pop star Christina Aguilera, that was most definitely what occurred.

Ms. Aguilera’s boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of California DUI early last week when he drew attention to the vehicle he was driving and in which Ms. Aguilera was riding as a passenger when he was speeding and ‘burning rubber’, or squealing his tires when accelerating. The noise and the speed involved with the moving vehicle brought police to the scene.

Mr. Rutler was ultimately arrested on suspicion of California DUI after being pulled over near Sunset Boulevard and Clark Street on the Sunset Strip. Mr. Rutler was taken into custody after initial questioning, processed after his California DUI arrest and released from custody the next morning.

First, he will need to quickly request a hearing with the California DMV regarding the continuation or the revocation of his driving privileges.
