"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.

46. Hey, I live in Greenville,NC (Pitt County).. the club rumors that he was at..is a SHITTY CLUB! .. I wouldnt be caught dead there. I cant even believe he came to East Carolina University. Sure we have the title of being one of the top drinking schools in the nation; but why the hell come to NC? ALE is really big out here, I cant think of one person that doesnt have a underage drinking ticket. If he would have just shut his mouth and taken the ticket, he could have paid a few hundered dollars and been on his way. I think hes on a power trip from Laguna Beach.


BTW- just to let you know.. Greenville is "Ghetto" just last weekend there was a shooting at a club a block over from rumors. ahhh pitt county

49. 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.

53. AOL and it's "news" has turned into a tabloid of the lowest type. I have to wonder who is in charge these days. Anything like taste and class left AOL a long time ago.

57. You all are always reporting about Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, and other 'starlets' being in clubs, drinking and yet, this guy gets busted? There was also a picture of Scarlett Johanssen drinking at the Oscars a couple of years ago, and she wasn't busted as an underage drinker. Hypocrisy.

58. Unlike the period during WW2, where men were forced into the service to save this Country from Gemany and Japan, these men today sign up for a stint in the service where they learn a trade, learn how to obey orders and learn how to defend this Country if need be.
I am addressing this post to the comment made by "True blue". No one has twisted their arm to enlist.
