Kirsten Storms was booked and then released on bail

Kirsten Storms was living her own drama-laden soap opera this past weekend.

The "General Hospital" and "Days of Our Lives" star was busted for drunk driving in Los Angeles over the weekend, reports TMZ.com.

According to the celebrity site, the 23-year-old actress allegedly flicked a lit cigarette butt from the window of her blue Mercedes while driving on a Los Angeles freeway. When the officers approached, they "noticed the odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from the vehicle."

As the city's finest, they decided to administer a battery of sobriety tests, after which Storms was arrested for DUI. She was booked at Van Nuys Jail and later released on $5,000 bail.

Younger viewers may remember her from stints on "Second Noah" and "Seventh Heaven." She teamed up with The Disney Channel for the "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" films and still works with the children's channel as a voice on "Kim Possible."

She's best known as the sweet ingenue Isabella "Belle" Black on NBC's "Days of Our Lives," which she on through 2004 when she switched over to prime time for the short-lived "Clubhouse." Storms returned to her soapy roots as Maxie Jones on ABC's "General Hospital."
