Erin Brockovich: Arrested For DUI! On a Boat! Jun 9th 2013, 18:27 Legal advocate Erin Brockovich (now Erin Brockovich-Ellis) needs a lawyer of her own after being arrested while boating on Lake Mead near Las Vegas. She was booked Friday night and posted $1,000 bail. A game warden who saw Erin Brockovich-Ellis having trouble docking a boat on her own offered her assistance, and then noticed she had slurred speech. "She was obviously struggling ... and if you've had any experience, it's a simple enough operation," said Edwin Lyngar of the Nevada Department of Widlife. A field sobriety test showed Brockovich-Ellis was "significantly" over the .08 percent legal threshold for operating a boat, says Lyngar, and she was arrested. We imagine her boat party went something like this ... SNL Digital Short: I'm On A Boat We're kidding. But still, that video is hilarious. Brockovich rose to fame when, despite having no legal training, she helped construct a winning class action lawsuit against the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Now 52, her unlikely crusade against the utility giant was depicted in 2000 in the movie Erin Brockovich. Julia Roberts won an Emmy for the lead role.
