Seymour was arrested for DUI in January in Greenwich. She was involved in a two-vehicle crash on the Connecticut Turnpike exit 5 ramp.
According to the police report, Seymour was stopped at a stop sign on an exit ramp when another car came up and stopped behind her 2015 Range Rover. Instead of moving forward, Seymour put the vehicle into reverse and backed into a 2008 Mercury. Neither her or the driver of the other vehicle was injured.
She refused to perform a field sobriety test and was arrested for DUI and also given a ticket for unsafe backing.
Seymour was also arrested for evading responsibility and failure to drive in the proper lane after she was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run accident that occurred shortly before her arrest.
