Cops: "Little" Star Hit Bar, Drove Car

16. I am so disappointed! Can't imagine how Amy must have rung his neck when he got home! She seems irritated with him on a daily basis, much less "Honey, I just got charged with DUI." What a bummer. I'll never be able to watch the show again in the same light. What's next? There is no Santa Clause?!

18. I love Matt. It just shows that we are all human. None of you ever had a drink and drove? PLEASE!!!!!

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. I guess fame hit him too

22. I would suspect the test for him would have been arms straight out & then the touching his nose test. They would not do the walking test.

Sad to hear Matt has made a serious wrong choice. I just hope the tallest twin doesn't see it as -- if Dad can do it, so can I. Can't think of the tall son's name but I find him very troubling and on tv -- very lazy. Somewhat like the world owes him. I have a feeling he will be the one we hear about in trouble in the years to come.

23. He has really good hair.

24. I am a very big fan of this big hearted little man. Hang in there Matt. You made a mistake and there is no doubt in my mind that you will turn this into something positive as you have dome with so many things in your life.

25. WOW! This really sucks people! I love your show Matt and I realize the pressures of being a parent these days too but do us a favor and next time you want to get drunk dont freakin' drive! And to anyone who has'nt been touched personally by the damage a drunk driver can cause, let me tell you it really sux! My childrens uncle was killed by a drunk driver 5 minutes after he dropped my kids off at home by a man with 8 prior DUI convictions. (He did 6 mos. in jail)

27. I am shocked about this. If I know Matt, which I don't actually but watch the show all the time, he WILL put this into his show. He is all about little people being just like regular people. This just goes to show that anyone can make a mistake. I hope he is able to use this as a learning experience for his children. He has opened up their lives to the world, so it's going to be news, so he's going to have to deal with it.

I disagree with the comment about the tall twin, Jeremy. I think he seems like a regular teenaged boy to me. All of the kids seem pretty normal to me. Are your kids all so perfect that they don't act lazy, talk back, get into trouble, chase after girls, etc...I used to be a teenager myself and remember quite well what it was like. At least the show doesn't try to portray them as perfect or push them to act nice for the cameras.

I really hope that Matt wasn't drunk driving. I hope it is all a big misunderstanding. He does like to rile some feathers in the community, so we'll see what happens.

28. Oh, I love that show and seems like we all know the family too. I am sad to hear this news, I hope that he wasn't loaded ,but what about all the advice our parents gave us. If you drink, take a cab!!! However, that is easier said then done sometimes, and I am sure we have all gotten behind the wheel in less than desireable states. I am sure this will be a learning tool in his family and I am sure that Amy bitched slapped him!!!

29. Alcoholism is a disease and little people can be affected just like any average size person or person's with disabilities. Please give the guy a break. He is very kind and generous and a great Dad. I am sorry TMZ feels the need to exploit this situation as they do everyone else. It's not a moral judgment for anyone to make. Yes, I agree it is stupid to drive and drink. I know his family must be torn up over this. Hopefully they will show it on the program to help other lp's or people not to drink and drive.
