Hollywood's golden girl Reese Witherspoon is seen here in handcuffs following her dramatic arrest in the early hours of Friday morning.
The footage shows the 37-year-old actress being led out of an Atlanta police station in cuffs before being unshackled and taken inside for booking where she made her ''you're about to find out who I am' comment.
Reese appears in a calm and co-operative demeanor, although the video - obtained by TMZ - serves as another nail in her well-carved squeaky clean image.
Cuffed: Reese Witherspoon seen here in new video footage in handcuffs at an Atlanta police station following her arrest for disorderly conduct in the early hours of Friday morning
The Mud actress was arrested for disorderly conduct last Friday after her husband Jim Toth was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Talent agent Toth, 42, apparently feels 'awful' for getting Reese involved in his arrest and is overwhelmed with guilt.
A source told People: '[Jim] feels awful that he involved Reese in the situation. He made a bad decision and it certainly made things worse that he dragged her into it.

Jim reached 1.39 on the sobriety test - over Georgia's legal limit of 0.08 - when he and Reese were pulled over in the early hours of the morning and it is thought their 'embarrassing' incident will cause him to look at alcohol in a different way.
The source added: 'Jim has always been a big social drinker. A lot of his job is being social. He's out to lunch or dinner almost every day of the week, schmoozing clients and taking business meetings.

'[The arrest is] just going to make the two of them stop and pause, and think about maybe how much Jim's drinking plays a role in their lives - if it does or not.'
The couple, who have seven-month-old son Tennessee together, have been given bail until their court hearing on May 22.
Reese - who also has children Ava, 13, and son Deacon, 10, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe - has since made a public apology for her behaviour.

'Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now.
'But I do want to say I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said.
