The woman who caused the accident in which Ellen DeGeneres was involved in a couple of weeks ago has been charged with driving under the influence.

E! Online reports that misdemeanor charges were laid on Tuesday against Jeanne Werber, who had previously told the website tmz.com that she was not under the influence at the time of the accident.

Werber was arrested at the scene, refused to take breathalyzer and was released after posting her $100,000 bail.

Her arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 4, and she has also been charged with failing to provide proof of insurance.
