Details Surrounding Arrest
According to TMZ, the police in said that Glorilla's arrest occurred in the early hours of Tuesday at 4 a.m. when police saw a car execute an illegal U-turn at a red light.

GloRilla, who revealed that she was returning from a venue, later admitted that she consumed alcohol earlier in the evening, though she insisted that she was capable of safely operating a motor vehicle. However, she declined to disclose how much alcohol she consumed.
Field Sobriety Test
As a result of her admission, GloRilla underwent a field sobriety test. The police report states that she exhibited signs of impairment including struggling to maintain balance and following instructions.

Kay’la Lillard shared a photo of GloRilla’s mugshot to her Instagram Story, writing, “Free GloLillard #sisterwife.” If you recall, Glo previously tried to shoot her shot at the NBA star, which kind of backfired on her.
