Ariana Zolciak was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on Saturday in Cumming, Georgia, with a police incident report revealing that she denied drinking alcohol but admitted she "smoked a THC vape pen." In an Instagram Story on Tuesday, Zolciak-Biermann defended her daughter by resharing a statement from their attorney: "Ariana was involved in a minor fender bender," it began. "When police arrived on the scene, the investigating officer immediately initiated an investigation for DUI of alcohol.
