Actor Irene Bedard was arrested for disorderly conduct, Ohio police have confirmed.
The 55-year-old is best known for voicing the titular character in Disney’s 1995 animated film Pocahontas.
According to a police report obtained by People, two females were arguing when they “walked out into the street screaming, without any regard for traffic”.
After two officers separated the pair, one was identified as Bedard, and the other was identified as Sheila Johnson.
A third officer came on the scene and spoke with Bedard, and the report says: “As [she] spoke, there was a strong odour of an alcoholic beverage on her breath.”
However, she told Ohio police that she had not consumed any alcohol that day. Although, she did disclose that she had consumed a bottle of vodka the day before.
Bedard then explained that Johnson had been trying to help her into her “studio”, but she was unable to locate her keys.
