The 22-year-old actress, best known for her roles in "Jessie" and "The Suite Life on Deck", was apprehended by police after crashing her Audi into a Mercedes in Los Angeles, reported TMZ.
Debby was given a field sobriety test before being arrested for felony driving under the influence (DUI).
The driver of the Mercedes claimed an injury, prompting the felony charge, which a police source explained to the outlet was standard procedure.
However, Debby's charge was dropped to a misdemeanour after only just failing a Breathalyzer test.
The star now has two criminal offences against her name; one for driving under the influence and the second for driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher.
Debby is currently home on USD 100,000 bail.
She is the latest Disney star to be arrested for DUI.
Lindsay Lohan, Jake T Austin and "Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso have previously also been arrested for motoring offences.
