Police Close Tara Reid Drink-Spiking Inquiry for Lack of Evidence

Police cite lack of evidence after absent toxicology tests, with no video showing tampering.

Overview

  • Rosemont, Illinois police said on Dec. 17 the investigation into Tara Reid’s alleged drink-spiking is closed due to no new evidence.
  • Investigators reported that surveillance footage did not show anyone adding anything to her drink, and staff said a bartender covered the glass as standard practice.
  • The hospital that treated Reid did not perform chemical toxicology tests, leaving no laboratory confirmation of any substance in her system.
  • Authorities said no criminal act or suspects have been identified and the case will be reopened only if verifiable new evidence emerges.
  • Reid says she recalls one drink, later noticed a napkin on the glass, experienced memory loss, and was hospitalized after a 911 call from a hotel employee; she maintains she may have been drugged and says media scrutiny has harmed her well-being.
