The former child star was arrested for drunk driving, E! News has confirmed.

The Disney darling was driving around Los Angeles on April 5, 2016 when she made a left turn in her Audi and crashed into a Mercedes Benz. LAPD confirms to us that the 22-year-old Jessie star was arrested on a felony DUI; however, local authorities ultimately reduced her offense to a misdemeanor.

Ryan was released on $100,000 bail, but the Los Angeles City Attorney tells E! News that she was charged with two misdemeanor counts: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or above. She addressed the incident on Twitter Wednesday, where she apologized to her fans for what happened.

"Over the last few days I have had the chance to think about my actions, and I wish I had used better judgement," she wrote. "I recognize that I am a role model and have always worked hard to set a good example for my millions of fans. I am so sorry to disappoint everyone."
