Celebrity Rehab alum Tawny Kitaen was taken into custody Saturday afternoon near John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif., on suspicion of driving under the influence. 

The 48-year-old former actress/reality star allegedly "made contact with officers after operating a vehicle while under the influence," according to Sgt. Shontel Sherwood of the Newport Beach Police Department. 

Kitaen, who has also appeared on VH1's The Surreal Life, was busted in 2006 on drug possession charges, after police found 15 grams of cocaine in her San Juan Capistrano apartment. 

The Whitesnake music video babe struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which they agreed to drop the felony drug charges after she completed a drug treatment program.
