Washington, October 14 The wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has landed in trouble after she was photographed talking on her cell phone while driving.

Maria Shriver was caught on tape as she held a cell phone to her ear while driving a large SUV, possibly a Cadillac Escalade.

She was then spotted putting the phone down while the camera was rolling, reports Fox News.

Schwarzenegger was said to have responded on Twitter after the photo appeared on the celebrity website TMZ.

He said: "Thanks for bringing her violation to my attention. There's going to be swift action."

His spokesman Aaron McLear added that by "swift action," the politician means he would ask his better half not to hold the phone while behind the wheels. (ANI)
