"Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham was arrested Monday in Nebraska after failing a breathalyzer test.

Abraham, 21, was pulled over at 1 a.m. in Omaha after nearly clipping a police car on a wide turn. She was administered a field sobriety test, and failed with flying colors.

Law enforcement told TMZ Abraham blew a .147 percent blood alcohol level, nearly twice the legal limit.

Abraham's four-year-old daughter Sophia was not in the car when her mom was arrested. The reality starlet first rose to prominence in 2009 when she appeared on the MTV show "16 and Pregnant."
