Mob Wives star Renee Graziano was arrested for drug-related DWI in Staten Island.
On Tuesday, Jan. 4, the 52-year-old, who has battled substance addiction in the past, was charged with a misdemeanor for operating a vehicle while visibly impaired by drugs, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to E! News Jan. 5. A spokesperson for the Office of the District Attorney of Richmond County said that while they have not filed any charges on their end, the case remains under investigation. Graziano’s reps had no immediate comment when reached by E! News.
Graziano was driving a 2020 Nissan Murano when she lost control of the vehicle and struck a parked and unoccupied black Jeep, The Staten Island Advance reported, citing an NYPD spokesman. When officers arrived, she appeared to be under the influence and police took her into custody and charged her with one count of driving a motor vehicle while impaired. The newspaper also cited a law enforcement source as saying that results of a blood test looking to ascertain if she had taken a prescription drug were pending.
