The 48-year-old realtor, a native of Gainesville, Florida -- and former president of its' local Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter -- was arrested in connection with driving under the influence, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Oberlin was pulled over by police at 1:10 am ET February 18 after officers reported seeing her driving erratically, swerving and crossing lanes, according to the area's local paper, The Gainesville Sun.
