Celebrity Justice
"Laguna Beach" Star Will Go to Jail

Jason WahlerJason Wahler, star of MTV's "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach," pleaded no contest today to one count of battery, and was sentenced to 60 days in Los Angeles County Jail.

Wahler, 20, and model Kristin DeLuca, 25, were arrested in September 2006 after an altercation on Wilshire Blvd. The two and a group of friends were driving on Wilshire when their vehicle was blocked by a city vehicle and a tow truck attempting to move an illegally parked car. The pair jumped out of their car and got into a verbal altercation with the city employee and the tow truck drivers. Wahler punched one of the drivers and DeLuca kicked the tow operator and spit in his face. The drivers called the cops after restraining Wahler. His blood alcohol level at the time of his arrest was .22 -- nearly three times the legal limit.

Wahler pleaded no contest to one count of battery, and in addition to jail time, was ordered to attend 104 AA meetings, 36 hours of anger management classes, and to stay away from all of the victims. DeLuca pleaded no contest to one count of battery and was sentenced to 24 months of probation. She also must serve 15 days working on the road with CalTrans.

Wahler and De Luca must also participate in a one-day Museum of Tolerance program because of the numerous racial slurs they uttered during the incident.

Wahler has until May 4 to turn himself in. Celeb Mugshot

In a related story, Wahler was arrested just this past weekend after cops say he "resisted a public officer" during a raid against underage drinking in a North Carolina nightclub.

Oh yeah...NOTHING! The fact that they used racial slurs makes me even more sick....they really do think they are superior to the rest of us trash! Hope he and his little bitch get the same treatment.....bet the boys in the slammer are gonna love his ass-literally!

67. What kind of world is this where skanky, stringy haired bimbos like Kristen DeLuca are models?? I had no clue who she was, so I googled her and ended up on her myspace page where there were comments left by Jason calling her a slut and a pornstar. Nice guy huh? AND there were comments left by Kristen Cavallari saying something about a guy (presumably Jason) only wanting DeLuca for sex and how he didn't even talk to her, he just f***ed her. So BoJangles....your friend is a tw*t! Adding fuel to the fire, Heidi Montag, from the Hills who is supposedly LCs best friend left this slutty DeLuca chick some myspace love too. These people are all morons. The only one who seems to have any class is LC. Good thing she got out when she did!

68. To #58 Derrek, just because this girl is small doesn't mean she could not attack a man of big size.Sometimes like men do women tend to act first and think later so it's not like it couldn't happen.

69. Why does everyone keep calling him a star? HE"S NOT!!! After Laguna Beach he wasn't even recognized until Lauren picked his bummy ass up in the HILLS!! The she let his weak ass go because he's a CRACKHEAD!! What's wrong? I can't call him a crackhead because he's not African American and living on the streets? Well he is and so are more than half the population in Cali any county!!! Now that Lauren let him go, guess what?? He's a NOBODY again!! He had to get back in the spotlight somehow!! I don't think that he thought it would go that far, but it did and now he has pay the price!!

70. Time in the LA jail is going to make this pretty boy very popular - and some butt-boy action is what he's going to get and need to take his cocky attitude down a notch

71. WHO THE FU--K cares about this effing loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

72. TMZ did not report that the victims were Black and that Jason dropped the "N" bomb during the altercation. I love TMZ but a big fuck up on their part for not reporting it. The country needs to see the reality of racism--especially Jason's young fans.

73. Maybe his cockiness will go down when he has to go down on a few cellmates!!!!

74. I think TMZ forgot to mention that the "two men" whom were assaulted by this jerk were African Americans and were also called racial slurs while they were assaulted. This should have been considered a HATE CRIME, but hey maybe TMZ didn't think that bit if info was relevant...go figure...???

75. This is the ugly side of the rich young spoiled celebrity culture MTV wants us to drool after. There's racism, drunk driving, violence, and a sense of entitlement. Was Jason Wahler so drunk he couldn't just back his car down the street the way he came?

And I have no sympathy for Kristin DeLuca, a passenger in the car of someone with a .22 blood alcohol. There comes a point when you have to take the driver's keys away, call a taxi or a friend to drive instead--not just sit there like a lump in the passenger seat. Their delay behind the tow truck might actually have saved someone's life down the road--Jason was drunk enough to mow someone down. Thank God no one was killed. I'm sorry for the city employees who had to endure their violent behavior.
