Eve had an unlikely friend come to her rescue Thursday morning when the rapper was hauled to the police station on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Actor Sean Penn somehow got wind of the fact that Eve had crashed her gold Maserati on Hollywood Boulevard at 2:45 a.m. and he showed up at the station to bail her out.

"Sean and Eve have been friends for two years or so,” a source close to Eve tells Usmagazine.com exclusively. “They met out and about. When Sean heard Eve was arrested, he immediately ran down to the police station as a friend to bail her out.”

“Eve totally didn't expect it,” the insider continues. “Eve said, ‘What? Why is Sean here?’”

Once Penn was informed that Eve’s manager had already taken care of her bail, he was spotted leaving in a taxi at around 4 a.m. The two friends never saw each other.

“Sean decided to leave immediately, saying, ‘Let me get out of here before [the paparazzi] make this into something it's not,’” according to the source. “Eve was grateful but didn't need Sean's help."

Police Officer Martha Garcia told the Associated Press that the 28-year-old rapper/actress (born Eve Jeffers) submitted to testing to determine her blood alcohol level, but that the results weren't immediately available.

Eve was booked on misdemeanor drunken driving, posted $30,000 bail and is scheduled to return to court May 17.
