Dark clouds are ahead for Kirsten Storms.

The actress who who plays Maxie Jones on General Hospital has been officially been charged with two counts of driving under the influence.

Storms was arrested on September 7 while doing her best Nicole Richie impression on an L.A. freeway. A police officer says he saw her toss a lit cigarette out the window of her Mercedes before pulling her over.

Shortly after 3 a.m. Friday, authorities stopped soap opera actress Kirsten Storms along the 101 Freeway in Studio City after they say they saw her toss a lit cigarette out the window of her Mercedes.

Officers then issued sobriety tests, which the former Days of Our Lives and current General Hospital star failed, says the CHP, which declined to state her blood-alcohol level.

Storms, who also plays Bonnie Rockwaller on Disney's Kim Possible was booked at the Los Angeles jail in Van Nuys at 4:26 a.m.
