"Real Housewives" Husband Really Arrested

Posted Dec 20th 2007 4:16PM by TMZ Staff

Reality has set in for "Real Housewives of Orange County" husband Matt Keough. The former MLB star was popped by cops Tuesday afternoon in Newport Beach, Calif., after officers found him drinking at the bar at a local Marriott, thus violating his probation. Classy!

The 52-year-old Keough pleaded guilty to felony DUI charges in 2005, after crashing his SUV into another car and causing a chain reaction which seriously injured a bicyclist. Keough left the accident scene and was found at a nearby store. He reportedly blew almost three times the legal limit. Wow -- that's drunk!

The judge sentenced Keough to probation. The terms indicated he was not to consume any alcohol -- not even a drop. Cops arrested him after a Newport Beach police officer recognized him -- and knew he was not supposed to be drinking.

Marty Keough, Matt's dad and his uncle Joe all played professional baseball. His ~~douchebag~~ son Shane is currently playing minor league ball.

He'll be arraigned on the probation violation tomorrow.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with OC Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson, Jim Amormino, who confirmed that Keough was arrested in 2005 for DUI and that "the Oakland Athletics as well as Matt Keough's family are working together to get Matt into a treatment center to obtain the help that he needs."

9. Why are some people so hateful toward the rich? You should be ashamed at name calling and try to be less judgemental. They are human beings like the rest of us and feel pain. The poor man was knocked in his head so bad it totally changed his life. His wife looks pretty good for a woman her age. Whew.....I would love to see what you haters look like or your parents for that matter. How about spreading some good will?

11. This family's a danger to society. Somebody's going to get hurt. It's just a matter of time.

12. This douche seriously injures a cyclist while he is blind drunk and driving and all he gets is probation. I could care less if he is rich or not. Any moron that gets behind the wheel in that condition deserves a helluva lot more than probation.

13. Wow all the crime out there and you have small beat cops in bars busting customers.

14. the whole family is a train wreck except the daughter who is at Berkeley. Shane is a idiot, like his dad and there mom has no sense of reality. what a sad pathetic excuse for a family.

15. I never got in an accident although I drove after drinking years ago.I do not let other people think for me.I do not drink,no matter what.Don't judge everyone with alcohlism by a few who get more publicity than they want.There are millions of untold heroes who do not drink although they have no support system other than each other.If you want to know about addiction don't ask a celebrity,ask someone who has nothing.There are things going on in this world that even drinking and drugging won't relieve.Find yourself.Don't judge and don't whine!(WINE)>
