Ashley "Minnie" Ross, a regular cast member of TLC's  "Little Women Atlanta" since the show debuted in 2016, was arrested last week in Chattanooga on suspicion of DUI, according to TMZ, which obtained the police report.

Ross reportedly was found asleep at the wheel by the cops and failed sobriety tests. The report said she was asked to recite the alphabet from E to W but kept going to Z. And when told to count backwards from 69 to 39, she kept going to 1.

TMZ said an unnamed source representing Ross claimed she did pass her tests and was just texting when they pulled her over. She was placed under arrest in Hamilton County and released on bail.

Ross is a Chattanooga native. The show is in its fifth season and airs Thursdays at 9 p.m.
