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.

393. Everybody makes mistakes. I am surprised though, he's not setting a good influence for his kids. They already don't do anything he says to do.

394. I love Matt Roloff and love his show.......but this drinking and driving....I'm shocked he'd do such a thing. I'm let down in a way. My brother was only 20 years old and driving home for thanksgiving when he was killed by a drunk driver. When the police showed up at the door with his guitar my mother fainted, knowing something bad had happened.
I'm sorry Matt, but there is never an excuse to drink and drive. Never.

395. if this were matt's first dui i would say - okay he made a mistake and learn from it. a second dui however changes everything. is it possible he has a drinking probvem? only matt can answer that - but - being true to form - i too agree he will incorporate the drinking and driving into his format - as he seems to me a totally honest, upfront man with good morals and im really impressed by both of their parenting skills. my heartfelt prayers towards all of them and pray he addresses his problem upfront. and true to form as is his nature!

396. you can't blame this guy for his insidious disease. unfortunately alcoholism is so overlooked in this country. he needs professional help and attend aa meetings. i guarantee his family will benefit from the action. remember, he is not a bad person. his actions under the influence of alcohol are...................

397. Stop feeling sorry for him. He's an adult, dwarf or not! He has no respect for other people on the road, just as his kids have no respect for him and his wife, house, equipment etc.
The house is a "pig pen" They live like kings, while the rest of us work our a++++ off!
When is the last time you took your family to several excusion vacation sites in one year.
Remodeled house, the best of foods, all kinds of "toys around the "Rolof Farm".
I won't need a towel to wipe my eyes for him.....
Oh well, I'm back to work now!
