Cops: "Little" Star Hit Bar, Drove Car

The pint-sized pop on the TLC reality show "Little People, Big World" has been hiding a pretty big secret -- he was busted for DUI last month.

According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, 45-year-old Matthew Roloff was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of intoxicants, around midnight on June 19 after cops claim that Roloff's van had been swerving on the road.

Roloff, who then failed a field sobriety test, was taken to Washington County Jail, where he was cited and released.

3. Gee, another drunk driver....surprise, surprise, and here I thought this guy had some sense. He seems so family oriented on the show. I just love how all these people with loads of money, (and I'm sure he does, his show is successful) can't call a frickin cab.

4. How could he have passed the sobriety test????? He uses two cane/crutch things to go anywhere! And he's wobbly then! Do they have a special test for handicapped people?

5. No trying to make excuses but what type of field sobriety test did they give him. I've seen the show and no way could he walk the straight line, he uses crutches to walk. Just wondering. If he was drunk, SHAME ON HIM!

7. So, the pint had a pint...lol. Will people ever learn to not drink and drive? When will the United States ever decide to "crack down" on drinking and driving?

8. i have seen the show, he is a super big hearted guy that loves his family, what a coward cop to go after him. He also is handicapped & uses crutches & braces just to walk, So of course he cannot walk a straight line... He does not look trashe in his picture
I hope this case gets thrown out & they catch real drunks than just to get a trophy arrest

11. Police could have given him the HGN (nystagmus) eye test, and also a PBT (roadside handheld breathalyzer). I arrested a paraplegic for DUI. He had clamps holding his wheel chair in place and the gas and brakes were controlled with motorcycle-type hand control afixed to the wheel. He was toasted -- plead guilty in court.

And yes, you all are correct: a much smaller body weight means a high blood-alcohol ratio compaired to a standard 170 lb man.

12. PROBABLY DIDN'T TAKE 2 MUCH FOR HIM TO TEST POSITIVE FOR ALCOHOL. I'M SUPRISED, HE SEEMS SO STRAIGHT

13. I am somewhat handicapped and I know for sure I can't walk a straight line...sober or not...so I don't feel it's right for them to arrest him on that alone. He should have been given a blood test or something, it's not fair. If he is driving drunk, sure he should be arrested and sentenced, but I don't think that is the right way to find out if he's drunk.

14. I guess fame hit him too
