Exclusive Details
Bree Walker, a famous 80s news anchor and reporter ... was busted for DUI in Orange County, CA -- and her poor dog was also taken into custody ... TMZ has learned.
Anaheim police arrested Walker around 12:30 AM Wednesday after she was initially pulled over for running a red light.
Police smelled booze ... put her through a field sobriety test -- which she failed -- and 61-year-old Walker was taken to jail.
Law enforcement sources tell us Walker's pitbull Petey was in the car with her, but since she lives in L.A. County ... no one was available to pickup the dog. We're told animal control took custody of Petey.
Walker was booked for misdemeanor DUI, and released a few hours later ... aka once she sobered up.
Unclear at this point if she was able to pick up Petey yet.
Walker worked local news in New York, L.A., and San Diego -- and did a stint in rehab for booze a few years ago.
Born with a congenital condition called syndactylism -- a fusing of fingers and/or toes -- Walker became an advocate for the disabled.
