Police Investigation into Tara Reid's Alleged Hotel Bar Drugging Case Yields No Results
A probe into actress Tara Reid's claim that she was drugged at a hotel bar in Rosemont has hit a roadblock, with authorities saying they've found no evidence to support her allegations. The police department released a statement on Wednesday stating that video surveillance footage from the DoubleTree hotel bar on November 23rd does not show anyone tampering with Reid's drink.
According to Reid, she had visited the bar in the lobby area, where she encountered YouTubers, and then returned to smoke and found a napkin covering her glass. She claimed she didn't remember putting it there, and later became ill after consuming more of the drink. The actress was hospitalized as a result.
However, police said that while Reid was seen at the hotel bar on the night in question, no one tampered with or added anything to her drink. They also stated that bartenders typically cover drinks when patrons leave them unattended for an extended period, which is standard practice in the industry.
Despite this lack of evidence, police said they have conducted multiple interviews and are still working to obtain hospital records that may confirm Reid underwent chemical testing. These records, however, remain unreceived from the actress herself, who has also not provided any further information.
For now, the investigation will continue pending additional leads or results, but so far, it appears the police department is struggling to uncover concrete evidence to support Reid's claims of being drugged at the hotel bar.
