Supermodel Stephanie Seymour was arrested for driving under the influence on Friday night.

The '80s ramp star was arrested after she backed up into another car in Greenwich, Connecticut, reported E! online.

According to the police report Seymour, 47, stopped on an off-ramp when she reversed her Range Rover and drove backward into a car stopped behind her.

"Upon arrival, I observed a black Land Rover sideways at the top of the ramp and behind it was a white Mercedes. As I approached the operator of the Black Land Rover, I detected a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage omitting from her mouth as she tried to answer my questions.
 

"After six or seven requests for her license, registration and insurance, she finally was able to fumble through her purse, as she handed over her Connecticut driver's license, along with a credit card," the officer's statement read.

Seymour also declined to take a field sobriety test. She was released on USD 500 bond and is scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court on February 2 to answer to the charges.
