"Laguna Beach" Star Busted in Underage Drinking Sweep

Posted Mar 5th 2007 10:06AM by TMZ Staff

Jason Wahler Mugshot TMZ 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.

The 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.

76. He also got his ass beat for hitting on this guys girlfriend at Tiebreakers the same night. He was with Heidi's ex boyfriend Jordan from the first season of "The Hills." They were using the "I'm from Laguna Beach line."

78. In the south we dont care who you are, or who you THINK you are. You will get a ticket regaurdless of your "star status" . I think California needs to think like we do in NC!!!
and whoever said Rumors was a gay club..is wrong. Its a club that was put in the place of another club "Cabanas" that was shut down last year due to underage drinking. Thats why Rumors was busted for underage drinking this weekend. ALE KNEW they where selling alcohol to underage college students. I remember when Cabanas was still open, i was in HIGHSCHOOL and had a few beers; no questions asked.

79. I go to ECU... friday afternoon jason came to the baseball game and was stumbiling around drunk.. then walked into the girls bathroom.. it was kind of funny. However, this is a college town and so many people get kicked out of rumors every night.. its really not that big of a deal.

82. The only reason this shit made the news is because of who he is. Kids get caught drinking underage everyday of the year. So what? He is an adult and he knows right from wrong, eventually he will screw himself and end up in jail and then get screwed some more!
