Cops: "Little" Star Hit Bar, Drove Car

Posted Jul 31st 2007 2:31PM by TMZ Staff

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.

7. 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?

8. 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.

9. 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!

11. 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?

12. this guy really is th nicest guy in the world and I am sure he learned his lesson. He never claimed to be perfect. I wish him all the best and I hope to visit the farm during pumkin season!!!

13. 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

15. Even good people, make mistakes. Matt, it's all good, just don't do it again. Driving even if you had only one drink, is wrong. Count this as a blessing and go forward. This doesn't change my mind about you and your wonderful family.
