Arrested for drunk driving while driving her husband and three children? That's just horrible.

From canoe.ca:

MOORPARK, Calif. (AP) -- Former "Growing Pains" actress Tracey Gold was arrested after her sport utility vehicle flipped on Highway 118, injuring her husband and two of their children. An infant was unhurt.

Tracey Gold Marshall, 35, of Valencia was booked for investigation of felony drunken driving after the Sept. 3 crash, California Highway Patrol Officer Steve Reid said Monday.

The SUV, with Marshall at the wheel, veered off eastbound Highway 118 near Princeton Avenue just before midnight and it rolled over on its way down an embankment, Reid said.

Marshall wasn't hurt, but her husband Robby Marshall, 39, suffered neck injuries, the officer said. The couple's 7-year-old son suffered a broken collar bone and a 5-year-old son was cut, but a 4-month-old son wasn't hurt, Reid said.

Officers suspected the former "Growing Pains" star was under the influence of alcohol and she was booked at County Jail. She posted $50,000 bail the following day and was released. A court date wasn't immediately available, the CHP said.

The Marshalls' home telephone number was unlisted and the actress couldn't be reached.

The actress played Carol Seaver during the seven-year run of "Growing Pains," which ended production in 1992.

:( That sucks for the kids. Is she even still acting in stuff?

Yeah, apparently she's acting like an idiot.

just the growing pains reunion I think, but that was a few years ago
and the youngest one got hot since that show was originally on

**:eek:**

What an idiot, you'd think as a mother she'd be more responsible.

Maybe she just had a meal and was trying to induce vomiting at the time of the crash.

Wonder if her husband was drunk as well? I can't see a sober husband letting his wife get behind the wheel, with kids in the back no less!

Actually, there's another Growing Pains reunion that I believe is going to be shown next month.

She was on Celebrity Mole last year. She looked pretty cute.

So her own child now has to suffer the pain of a broken collar bone because she's an idiot. This is child abuse as far as I'm concerned. I'm all for having a drink and a good time, but I would never get behind the wheel after drinking, especially with my children in the car! geesh!!

No, I think he was talking about the youngest daughter, Chrissie (aka Ashley Johnson), from the later seasons:

got a link?

She seemed like she had it together when she was on "Celebrity Mole." Guess that wasn't the case.

It could be that she has too much wine with dinner, or something not as appalling as getting tanked and drinking with her family. I would be curious to see what her blood alcohol was. Regardless, it was a careless action that will no doubt haunt her.

The Smoking Gun has her mugshot...

Throw her in jail for a long, long time.
Jerk.

That is one picture she is not going to want floating around. Scary.

Whats scary about that picture? I think she looks quite normal in it aside from the obvious fact she had been crying prior to it.

I still managed to use that photo squeeze one off, but it was a struggle.

I think Kirk Cameron better come around and introduce her to his good friend, Jesus.

The notion that you'd struggle with it but still do it is just too fucking funny

Didn't she learn anything from that GP episode where her boyfriend was killed in a car accident while DUI? Guess not.

That's actually a very good picture for a mugshot. Definitely better than the crap you see on the majority of driver's licenses.
