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.

91. And just how was this "test" administered? Standing on "one" leg.....Saying the alphabet backwards......I can't do that SOBER!!!! Did he actually take a "breathe test"? I personally wouldn't like to have seen him informing his wife, Ouch! It appears they have a great family........I hope he has really really learned what NOT to do!

96. no one condones what he has done - but some of you people act like you have never done anything wrong in your life. he has the right to want things done his way at his own home - it's his home for christ sakes - and to anyone saying his teenage son is lazy and rude - show me one teenage boy who is not - all teenagers are lazy - and you get nothing out of them unless you bribe them or threaten them - i love the show and the whole family

97. You are a bunch of bigots. It's just amazing. Make fun of him for being a drunk if you want.

I think it's just ridiculous that it's perfectly fine for you people to make fun of people for their size - if they have dwarfism, are obese, whatever - but everyone's sensitive about race and gender etc.

I'm just amazed at the number of hateful bigoted and downright stupid comments here.

99. DUI's are wrong, it is a crime because innocent people can be killed. Imagine if a drunk driver had veered into the Rollf family van.

They will do the right ting, approach this as a learning opportunity, taking responsibility, and acknowledging we all have choices. Amy and Matt will take the high road. Even if on pain meds and a very small person, he will now know (sadly it took a DUI) not to drink at all. Just do not risk it. Sadly, we all make mistakes and have to learn through them. Glad no one was hurt so we can turn it into a positive learning experience for his kids and us.

The Rollf family will use this as a positive teaching opportunity. Just like they do throughout their show, they show their good side, along with their struggles, like most of us.

100. #54(Lilybelle) and #59(Carol), I totally agree with you 100%. Matt and his family seem like the most normal, down to earth family on TV these days. People are so quick to judge and toss stones at other people. What Matt did was wrong, period. But I believe that Matt will man up and take responsibility for his actions. The Roloff's will make the best of the terrible situation.

103. He looks so happy in his mug shot. If there was a mug shot contest Matt Roloff would win. It could be worse at least he kept his clothes on and was not handcuffed to the steering wheel like the lunatic Prince.

104. I LOVE Matt Roloff. He is an amazing guy. As they say, 'everyone makes mistakes' and I am sure he will own up to his and make it a learning experience for his kids. As for Amy, oh, oh, look out. she can get really ticked at poor Matt when he does something wrong!
Good luck Matt. You are a great person.
