What a shame, apparently Barbara Walter’s daughter has “fallen of the wagon” Jacqueline Walters Danforth, has been arrested for DUI in Naples, FL earlier today. It’s known to everyone that Jacqueline Dena Guber 44, or Jackie Danforth as she is now known, was actually a troubled teenager. At the tender age of 13 she admitted she abuse marijuana and methamphetamines.
Born on June 14, 1968, she was adopted the same year after the famous journalist had three miscarriages with hubby at the time Mr. Guber. Barbara named her daughter after her sister Jacqueline who was born mentally disabled and died of ovarian cancer in 1985.
For an entire month her iconic mother, Barbara didn’t know where she was or what to do about it! But that was a long time ago; she decided to use her experience to help other confused young women. Jackie has a self-discovery program for troubled girls. It combines outdoor living & clinical therapy.
She attended the Marine biology program at the University of Maine over the years has achieved several positions as the founder of the program New Horizons: director of operations, founder and executive director, executive director. Unfortunately it was shot down in May 2008.
But on May 21, She blew a .218 on the breathalyzer test, which is more than twice the legal limit! She was totally busted!
According to the police report, Jacqueline Walters Danforth, 44, was driving a Honda Pilot with her boyfriend as the passenger. Police pulled her over around 1:24 a.m due to reports that stated there was a vehicle stopped on the highway without the lights on. Police described Jacqueline and her boyfriend as “extremely intoxicated”. Jacqueline’s boyfriend was placed in handcuffs, which resulted in Jacqueline shouting at police officers.
The whole situation turned heavily when arresting officer had to take Jackie to the ground due to her massive drunken state:
“I was afraid that the suspect may run into traffic on the highway, so she was taken to the ground due to her unpredictable behavior, then secured in handcuffs.”
So next thing you know Walters Danforth was released on $1,000 bond the Collier County Sheriff’s Office reports. What brings us to the question who was the man next to her identified as her boyfriend?? And what happened to him???
What a shocking blow to 83 year old Barbara Walters who just a few days ago announced her retirement.
