Not a great week for the Hogans.

Linda Hogan was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence on Thursday around 1 a.m., the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department confirms to E! News.

Coincidentally, this was the same day that Linda's ex Hulk Hogan's sex tape hit the Web

Contrary to some reports, the 53-year-old was not charged with driving on a suspended license. Police could not comment on whether Linda blew a 0.084 (just above California's 0.08 legal limit) as her rep said in a statement to ETonline.

Per her rep, Linda was returning home after attending a jewelry function in L.A. where she drank a glass of champagne on an empty stomach. She also said she was still taking antibiotics, subsequent to a recent hospital stay, that heightened the alcohol's effects.

Linda was released on $5,000 bail several hours after being booked.
