Las Vegas man charged with DUI in crash with Jennifer Lopez

A Las Vegas man was charged with crashing into singer and actress Jennifer Lopez’ Rolls Royce while driving drunk, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Monday.

Robert John Reitz, 53, crashed into Lopez’ luxury sedan while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Sept. 27, prosecutors said. Reitz had a blood alcohol percentage of 0.15 percent at the time of the crash — nearly twice the legal limit, according to prosecutors.

Reitz is facing one count each of driving under the influence and driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol content, both misdemeanours.

Reitz has a history of traffic citations in Las Vegas that include a DUI in 2010 and driving without a license in 2007, Clark County court records show.
