Mugshots show White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham after drunk driving arrests in 2013 and 2015
Mugshots from 2013, on left, and 2015, right, show repeat offender Stephanie Grisham after a pair of arrests in central Arizona that happened two years apart.
Being Donald Trump’s spokeswoman can drive a person to drink, but Stephanie Grisham had a record of drunk driving long before she got the job in June.
Mugshots from 2013 and 2015 show the repeat offender after a pair of arrests in central Arizona that happened two years apart.
According to cops, Grisham also had a loose relationship with the truth before becoming White House spokesperson. During her 2013 arrest outside Phoenix, Grisham, driving on a suspended license, told police she hadn’t been drinking, then blew a .105, which earned her a DUI.
She told cops she’d earlier taken a Xanax after they reportedly pulled her over for speeding in an SUV and smelled booze on her breath, which she denied.
"She then blew directly in my face and I detected the odor of intoxicating beverage to be even stronger (along with the odor of gum in her mouth), according to a police report on The Smoking Gun.
Grisham pleaded guilty and the penalty was reduced to reckless driving, according to the New York Times.
She pleaded guilty again after being busted behind the wheel in 2015 and sentenced to a treatment program.
The 43-year-old White House flack is the third person to have held the title of White House press secretary in the 32 months Trump has been president.
Sean Spicer was Trump’s first choice. He came on board in January 2017 and resigned in July, following a series of dubious claims, including exaggerating the crowd size at Trump’s inauguration. ABC announced last week that he would appear on “Dancing with the Stars” on Sept. 16, alongside a reality TV star from “The Bachelorette” and former football player Ray Lewis, who was initially charged with double-murder in 2000, but pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice.
