SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - Prosecutors in California have
charged Jaime Pressly with misdemeanor drunken driving.

The 33-year-old "My Name is Earl" co-star was arrested Jan. 5
after Santa Monica police say she was stopped for a traffic
violation. She was released after posting $15,000 bail.
 

Deputy City Attorney Melanie Skehar says Pressly was charged
Tuesday morning with driving under the influence and having a blood
alcohol content of .20 or higher.
 

An e-mail message for Pressly's publicist was not immediately
returned.
 

The charges were first reported Tuesday by celebrity website
TMZ.
