Responding police attempted to pull Curiel over, but she refused at first, requiring multiple attempts. When she eventually pulled over, police noted sluggishness, the strong smell of alcohol and damage to the car possibly arising from the collision. Curiel was detained for investigation, during which she denied the collision and consuming any alcohol, though claimed to be driving from a [[Memorial Day]] party. She agreed to [[Field sobriety testing|standardized field sobriety exercises]] and indicated that she may be impaired. A search of her car was conducted by police who found [[Open-container law|an open bottle of tequila]]. She was arrested and transported to a police station where she was [[breathalyzer|breathalyzed]] with results of 0.145% and 0.148% in two tests (meaning a [[blood alcohol content]] of 0.145g and 0.148g of alcohol for every 100 {{abbr|ml|milliliter}} of blood), nearly twice the legal limit in Florida of 0.08%. Curiel was issued a US$1000 [[Bail in the United States|bond]].<ref name="USA Today, May 30, 2023" /><ref name="Los Angeles Times, May 30, 2023" /><ref name="XXL Mag, May 30, 2023" /><ref name="XXL Mag, May 31, 2023" /><ref name="New York Post, May 31, 2023" /><ref name="XXL Mag, February 2, 2024" /><ref name="TMZ, August 23, 2024" /><ref name="Vibe, August 26, 2024" />
On February 1, 2024, Curiel pleaded [[Nolo contendere|no contest]] to one [[misdemeanor]] DUI charge and one [[felony]] DUI causing serious injury charge in front of a [[Miami-Dade County]] judge, while one charge for leaving the scene of a crime and one additional DUI charge were [[adjournment in contemplation of dismissal|adjourned in contemplation of dismissal]], to be dismissed if Curiel completes her probation without violations.<ref name="XXL Mag, February 2, 2024" /><ref name="TMZ, August 23, 2024" /><ref name="Vibe, August 26, 2024" /> Curiel's defense attorney, Michael Catalano, spoke with ''[[XXL Mag]]'' stating:<ref name="
<blockquote>[Curiel] wasn't really at fault in the accident and she didn't know she [hit] somebody, but there was damage to the car. She wants to say, 'I'm really sorry about this,' but [the victim] has a lawyer and we never let people talk because it can be held against them. The truth of the matter is, the gentlemen who got hurt, was at fault in the accident. She's very apologetic about it and feels horrible that somebody got hurt.</blockquote>
