Being busted for DUI is nothing new for Matt Keough of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" -- but this latest bust takes the cake.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they busted Keough on Saturday afternoon when he rolled a stop sign in Coto de Caza, Calif. But Keough didn't stop right away, so the Sheriff's say they had to follow him all the way back to his place. Law enforcement gave him a blood test -- and he was THREE TIMES over the legal limit.
Keough was taken into custody and posted on $10,000 bond according to the O.C. Sheriff's Department.
Keough was sentenced to 180 days in an O.C. jail back in January 2008 for violating the probation of a 2005 DUI arrest.

Matt Keough faced off with an OC judge in court today, but his arraignment on a DUI probation violation was postponed. Now he may be blaming his tragic ballpark accident for Matt's troubles.
TMZ was inside an Orange County courtroom where "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star was supposed to enter a plea for violating his probation -- by drinking in a Newport Beach hotel.
Today, family attorney Dan Grigsby recounted to TMZ the cruel twist of fate during Matt's baseball career sent him on a downward spiral.
Back in 1993, Matt was playing for the Angels. He was sitting in the dugout when a player for the Giants connected with the ball for a bullet foul, striking Matt in the right side of his head. Matt underwent brain surgery and that's when his substance abuse problems began.
Grigsby said Matt began self-medicating, adding, "He's trying to quiet the demons as a result of the brain injury."
The arraignment was put off until January 14.
