Posted May 7th 2007 3:43PM by TMZ Staff

Ty Pennnington TMZ broke the story that Ty Pennington was arrested Saturday night for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. Pennington has just issued the following statement:

"I made an error in judgment. We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused."

7. these people are rich... why don't they just hire a driver if they plan to drink.. they can afford it. you know if it was T. Pennington, bus driver, who got pulled over for DUI he wouldn't be getting the same treatment that we all know the stars get.

11. This is so disappointing.

12. I'd love to believe the crocodile tears he's spewing with that statement, but you know his lawyer and agent told him to say that and he will get a slap on the wrist from the judge when he goes to court.

13. at least he didn't blame anyone or say the cops are hitting on him!

14. He's a good guy. But if Eve has to go to court, then he does too. Same for Paris, Lindsey and anyone else in Hollywood who is caught drinking and driving.

Posted at 3:54PM on May 7th 2007 by Ty's a good guy

15. Thanks for being a man and taking responsibility. We love you Ty!!!!
