"Laguna Beach" Star Busted in Underage Drinking Sweep

Jason Wahler MugshotTMZ has learned that former "Laguna Beach" star Jason Wahler was arrested and booked this weekend after cops say he "resisted a public officer" during a raid on underage drinkers in North Carolina.

According to police sources, the 20-year-old lied about his age when he was approached inside Rumors nightclub by members of the Alcohol Law Enforcement Division. Wahler claimed he wasn't carrying any ID that night, but insisted that police could "check TMZ.com" to verify his identity!

Wahler was taken to Pitt County Jail early Saturday morning, where sources claim he was anything but coopertive, shouting multiple obscenities throughout the booking process. After spending just a few hours behind bars, Wahler was released on $1000 bail.

Wahler is due to back in court in April.

Tyson MughsotThe 20-year-old has a history of run-ins with the law. Wahler was arrested in Los Angeles for misdemeanor battery after an altercation with a tow truck driver in September. Three weeks earlier, Wahler was ordered to complete five days of community service after he was arrested in New York for disorderly conduct.

32. Booze, anger problems, and total disregard for others deserves to be nailed. Good for North Carolina they understand real law not like those in California. Hey pretty boy, better head back to the Golden State where anyone with a SAG card gets a pass on rules, laws and class. The rest of the USA is not so enamored with you one shot wonders.

Way to go North Carolina!!

34. But it is ok with MTV for him (and everyone) on the show to go out to the clubs on the Hills Season 1. Makes no sense! These underagers have been drinking for years. It is hard to just stop.

36. Always gets me when the dumbasses use that old analogy, "old enough to die in war but not old enough to drink". The problem there nit wit is that they're just trying to make sure you're immature little mind has reached a point in time where you drink responsibly, and anything under 25 isn't even mature enough. Just look over the story once again of the kid sentenced last week for killing the Limo drive and little girl, and he's just one of millions who wasn't mature enough to know when to say "enough". It's just like the morons that want to abolish and drug laws and let people do what they please, PLEASE! man kind is too self destructive and stupid to do what they please, this is why we have laws and ordinances, to protect you from yourself, and to hopefully protect me from you. Kills me to think about all those who bashed any of the so called "moral majority" or anyone that pointed out in the past what simple usage of say Marijuana would eventaully lead to. Life, without control, is like driving. Once you've gone 30, you don't want to do 20 anymore. Once you've gone 50, forget 30, do I need to go on? Once you've done your first hit of heroin or meth or crack, now it's hey let's go 50, then 80, and it's very seldom that there's any turning back. Once in awhile one of those fools will actually admit that "THEY WARNED ME THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, BUT I WOULDN'T LISTEN". Just like the story of Spring Break in Mexico and like you said, "they can go fight for their country and die, why the hell can't they be free to swap out diseases, get drunk and probably die from anthing from drowing, to walking out in front of a bus, over consumption, and like a bunch of dogs that haven't been spayed or neutered, that's what we need is another genenration of kids that were conceived by a drunken mom and dady, oops, I mean male and female that didn't even know each other.

39. It's about time that so called "Stars" or others with money, start having to obey the law like the rest of us "plain folk." I would really like to see our society not be so controlled by money. Good luck with that though ..

40. I have no use for Jason as he seems to be a national desaster as far a humans are concerned. What I do have a problem with is my 18 year old Grand Son can fight and die for this God Forsaken Country but he cannot have a beer if he desires right or wrong how ever it may seem. It is about time he people of this country got their priorites in good order

45. For the record, I am an American but once again, stupid America is behind the whole world again. Everywhere else in the Western world from Canada to Mexico to Europe and everywhere in between, the drinking age is 18 or around it.

Only in this overregulated socially backward overly conservative country is the drinking age 21. I am not saying this actor's behavior was worthy of praise but stuff like this wouldnt happen if the United States would make the drinking age in line with reality and stop living in the stone ages. We make such a big deal when 19 or 20 yo celebrities drink here but elsewhere it is like such a nothing issue. Stop trying to enforce all these damn updated morals and get with the rest of the free world!

Let the hate mail begin.
