Emergency Investigation
An Orange County, California, family court launched an emergency investigation on Sweetin on December 17, 2008, after her ex-husband, Cody Herpin, accused the actress of driving under the influence with their infant daughter in the car. Herpin's lawyer, Robert Benavente, made this statement, "It's primarily alcohol [abuse] but there's also concern regarding methamphetamines." Sweetin and Herpin are in a custody battle for the couple's daughter, Zoie. 5
Following the investigation, a judge ruled that Sweetin could not see her daughter unless she is supervised by one of her parents, with whom she is staying. The judge also ordered Sweetin and Herpin to undergo a drug test before the next hearing.6
