Scout Willis, 20, arrested for underage drinking & using a fake ID

I’ve been holding up Scout Willis as an example of a celebrity-kid making her own way in the world. Instead of mindlessly doing the party circuit in LA and trying to make a “movie career” happen, Scout was actually pursuing a higher education. She’s enrolled at Brown University, and I think she’s going into her third year. Well, as it turns out, Scout is just as “wild” as all the other celebrity kids. Scout is only 20 years old, and she had a fake ID, which she was using to drink in NYC. The cops busted her, and when they asked for her ID, she gave them the fake one. So… she’s in a lot of trouble now.

Scout Willis, the 20-year-old daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, was busted for allegedly drinking a beer in Union Square and giving cops a fake ID, the Daily News has learned.

The Brown University student was released without bail Tuesday and ordered to return to Manhattan Criminal Court on July 31.

The celebrity spawn was nabbed just before 7 p.m. Monday by a transit cop who spotted her with an 8-ounce Pakistani beer, according to court papers.

She gave the officer a New York ID card with the name Katherine Kelly, but the cop didn’t fall for it. After she was questioned further, Willis brought out her real California ID.

“My name is Scout Willis,” she told the officer, according to the criminal complaint. “The first ID isn’t mine. My friend gave it to me. I don’t know Katherine Kelly.”

The wannabe singer was charged with criminal impersonation and breaking the open container law, both misdemeanors.

The arrest comes a few months after Willis raised eyebrows with a Twitter feed that declared she hated her parents, had tried the designer drug MDMA and was hit on by photographer Terry Richardson.

She later said the tweets were a “hoax” she created for a class at Brown, intended to show that the more outrageous your posts, the more followers you get.

CB and I just debated this – something similar happened to a friend, back when I was in college. Only my friend was the one whose ID was used by her sister – and her sister got into a ton of trouble with the law. I mean… I understand using a fake ID to go out drinking. But never, ever give your fake ID to the cops when the jig is up. Especially now, in our post-9/11 world, where a fake ID can be a federal crime. My guess is that Scout probably won’t be in that much trouble, though. Unless they want to make an example of her. Which won’t happen because her dad is Bruce Willis.

        being “book smart” usually doesn’t translate into common sense. Most people, especially celebs and their spawns, lack any common sense because they become slightly delusional when their fame eclipses who they are.

        Yeah, book smart tends not to translate well to social skills and common sense.

        I say this as the loving mother of 3 children, one of whom has a highly developed intelligence when it comes to math and science, but a certain naivete when it comes to the social stuff. The other one has a highly developed intelligence when it comes to reading, speaking, and the English language; and is generally completely comfortable in shocial stuff and has common sense.

        Bella, what you do to your finger girl?? Ironically I’m also recovering from a broken middle finger – two pins and a cast for a month and when it all came off/out finger looks as buggered up as it did before argh. Horse related thingy… my brat has since been sent to the trainer for 6 weeks of boot camp :) Anyway, my ouchie sympathies and hope you heal up quickly!

        Aaaah, skuddles, it was a process. Toddles pulls on my fingers to get me to go in his direction of intent (he jammed it or dislocated it or something – would that I could send him to a six week boot camp!!!!); then I was carrying a full laundry basket through a doorway (we have crown moulding) and I slammed the knuckle into the door jamb; then, later that same night (last night), the wind blew the the door from the “mud room” to the kitchen closed as I was walking through and BAM! in the SAME. EXACT. PLACE.

        I yelled “F*CK ME!” (Toddles was outside w/ Daddy) and when Daddy said “What happened?” (Because he heard me from inside) I said “Well, if it wasn’t broken before, it sure as hell is now!”

        (No insurance, so we’re handling it on our own – it’s now in a proper splint and bandaged. But it SERIOUSLY slows down my WPM!) :(

        Wow, that’s quite the bizarre chain of events… it’s like the universe had it in for your poor finger!! When you looked at it after the door nailed it did it look obviously askew or do you think it’s a pretty clean fracture? I’m glad to hear you’re all nicely splinted now – don’t be temped to take that thing off anytime too soon (my doc said 4 weeks and no lifting anything heavier than a soup can for a month). I SO empathize with you on the typing thing – drove me bonkers at work as I’m in finance and must use keyboard constantly – I had to learn how to type quickly with one hand (cast only left my thumb free on that hand) and I could only manage CTRL ALT DEL with a pen in my mouth. And forgot doing dishes … wait, that was a total perk, never mind :D Hang in there bella and take good care of that finger – and remind yourself, this too shall pass (my mantra after 3 broken bones and a possibly fractured tailbone in less than a year).

      Exactly! why are we drawing the distinction between celeb kids and NORMAL kids when it comes to this? Most college kids drink y’all, regardless of whether they’re of legal drinking age. Plus if I had Demi as a mom, I’d be hitting the bottle too. And HARD.

    I know in the us it’s 21 to drink but I’m Irish and it’s 18 here so I just find it bizare that ye give 20 year olds so much shit for drinking. It really is very strange to me. Here, we were trying, and often suceeding, to get into nightclubs at 16. And it’s never considered a big deal if you’re 17 and drink in pubs with your parents. So I say give her a break. Shes TWENTY!

      Look, potato head #2 is rich. let the booksmart idiot fly to Quebec (legal age to drink is 18} or Toronto (legal age is 19), or be like the other college kids and drink your illegal beers behind closed doors. The law is the law and if you are gonna be stupid and break it, at least be smart enough to not do it where a cop can easily see you.

      Or do like my friends did and pour it into an applejuice container. These young people lack creativity nowadays…

        WAY harsh, Tai. I was getting into nightclubs at 17 or 18 by using a friend’s ID, but that was the “Pre-Russell Edgington Era.”

        I was also very creative I once rolled an of-age friend’s hand stamp onto mine while it was still wet. When the bartender questioned me, I turned it around and demanded “Well, don’t you wash YOUR hands after you use the restroom? If not, I want HIM to make my drink!” And the dude ACTUALLY RE-STAMPED MY HAND!

      @Lol – totes agree.

      I’m from Australia and the legal age is 18. Kids regularly start drinking with their parents around 15, 16. And start trying to get into clubs using whatever wily means possible.

      Scout is TWENTY FFS. Honestly Americans are a strange breed. PLUS that poor child is so unfortunate looking.

        Snowpea – We allowed our oldest (now almost 22) to drink at home (at a reasonable age, and within reason), with his closest friends (1 or 2 who could keep their mouths shut), provided we kept the car keys and no one went anywhere.

        If I had to choose between a kid who goes out to drink and winds up drugged/dead/in a car accident because of partying, my choice will ALWAYS be “Call us if you need a ride, no questions asked;” “Invite your friend(s) over and nobody leaves if they’ve been drinking;” or “Have them over, but nobody drives anywhere.”

        Don’t get me wrong: We weren’t mainlining our oldest and his friends with tequila, but we also knew that our home was a safe place.

        I’m not condoning under-age drinking, but I’m also not naive enough to think it doesn’t happen.

        If you look up the various drinking laws in various states, you’ll see the “21 to drink” thing is not so cut and dry. Many states allow the parent to decide if their under-21 children can drink at home (I don’t think to the point of inebriation, but still).

        To purchase, however- still 21.

    Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the world who never went crazy in college with underage drinking (I never drank at a restaurant or bar until I was actually 21, only ever a few sips of wine or something with my parents) or drugs (have still never tried weed). But my friends were the same and we certainly had no problem having fun without that stuff.

      Never used a fake ID because in my day, the drinking age was 18. It wasn’t raised to 21 until the late 80s/early 90s, depending on the state.

      I understand that the logic was that 18 year olds were more likely to buy alcohol for their younger friends, but I still think it’s crazy that in 2012 an 18-year-old can sign up for the military, vote, start a company or get married, and still be considered too young to drink a beer.

    Ugh, I luckily left Virginia to go to school in Vancouver, so I’ve been allowed to drink legally for two years although I’m 2 months from turning 21. I’ve noticed that Canadians my age are MUCH more responsible about drinking because it doesn’t have that enticing “forbidden” vibe to it.

    But yeah, everyone I know from home has a fake ID. It’s just part of going to college. There are specific bars on almost every small-town campus that are known for being relaxed about checking IDs.

    Funny story–I just got back to VA for the summer. I’m still 20, but last night I met my friends at a bar for a 21st birthday party and literally walked BEHIND the bouncer. He didn’t even notice, and I got to drink all night without a problem. Kinda awesome :)

    RE: Scout not putting herself out there like Rumer does in LA…

    Until I read excerpts from her bizarro Twitter account, Scout seemed like the unassuming middle Willis who went away to college and did normal things like underage drinking:

    The tweets are almost too casually pretentious to be taken seriously, but that is DEF someone trying to “put themselves out there” in a not-so-secretive way.

    I almost respect Rumer more for going to ridiculous red carpet events and posing for fashion spreads than her sister’s “anonymous” tweeting.

    haha funny fake ID story:

    When I was in college, I was visiting my friend in Pittsburgh one summer at Carnegie-Mellon. She decided to be “helpful” and made one of the worst fake IDs I’ve ever seen, so I could take the bus for free around Pittsburgh (all Carnegie-Mellon students get to ride the bus for free). It worked well enough until I flashed the ID a bit too long at the bus driver who then took it from me and gave me a lecture about using fake IDs… then kicked me off his bus. I was so terrified of my parents finding out.

    Months later I told her the story and she laughed at me saying, “That’s like getting kicked out of the library for talking too loud! You could have had the decency to get kicked out of a bar instead!”

    Clearly wasn’t rebellious enough!

She passed her ID back amongst our 3 friends to hand to me, and I used it to get in. (Obvs, we looked very similar, minus eye colour & boob size, but the bouncer/door man didn’t look too close!)

      I was a schemin’ scandalous party hound in HS! I knew which liquor stores would sell to me at 16! (So did my fellow under-age friends, which is why they always sent me in!) ;)

Should have stayed in Idaho and out of sight, done the whole family a favor…nothing but downhill ever since.
