Lori Petty may have reached her own breaking point.

Fresh off of her guest spot of Prison Break, the actress has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Petty, best known for her early 90s film career, was taken into custody in Venice late Saturday night after hitting a skateboarder with her car. The unidentified victim was treated for minor injuries on the scene.

The star, 45,  was booked on a felony DUI charge and released from the 77th Street Station women's jail shortly after on $100,000 bail.

Most recently Petty has made appearances on Fox's House and the now wrapped up Prison Break, but is most famous for roles in Point Break, opposite Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, the women's baseball classic A League of Their Own, and Tank Girl.
