Asia Carrera, the ex-adult film star and “Pastafarian” who made headlines for wearing a colander on her head in her driver’s license photo, was arrested in St. George, Utah, Thursday, for driving under the influence of alcohol with a child in the vehicle.

The St. George News reports that authorities
received a call at about 2 p.m. Thursday reporting that a woman was passed out on a couch in the Washington County School District building, 121 W. Tabernacle St. in St. George. An officer responded to the location and spoke with the woman, later identified as Jessica Steinhauser, 41, of St. George. As he talked with her, the officer could smell the odor of alcohol on her breath, according to a probable cause statement filed by Officer Colby Carter in support of the arrest.
“The woman, later identified as Jessica ‘Asia’ Steinhauser, said she drove her daughter to the district building for test taking,” Carter said in the statement.
After speaking with the officer, Steinhauser showed him her vehicle, which was parked in front of the building, and then attempted to leave in the vehicle, according to the statement. The officer stopped and detained her.
Carter then arrived at the scene and was told by the first officer that Steinhauser had the keys to the vehicle and the vehicle was registered to her; she had also admitted to driving the vehicle to the building with her daughter inside.
The “glassy-eyed” ex porn star and member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster submitted to a field sobriety test, police say, and “blew 0.254 percent – well above Utah’s legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08 percent. She then consented to a breath test with the intoxilyzer machine and blew a 0.202.”
She was arrested at 2:20 p.m. and booked into the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility — now that’s a name for a jail! — on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol with a child under the age of 16 riding in the vehicle. She posted bail and has since been been released.
