Law enforcement sources described Christina as being "extremely intoxicated" and was "unable to take care of herself." The source went on to say, "If the driver had not been arrested for DUI, [Christina] would have never been in trouble."

UPDATE: The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department released this statement about Christina Aguilera's arrest Tuesday morning.

"At 2:45 A.M. Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Deputies assigned to West Hollywood station conducted a traffic stop in the 1100 block of Clark Street, West Hollywood, regarding a Drunk Driving investigation. The driver, Matthew Rutler, was determined to be driving while under the influence of alcohol and arrested.

Christina Aguilera was the passenger in the vehicle. Deputies determined Aguilera was intoxicated.
