Arrests

Now we know why paramedics were standing by when Chris Kattan landed in L.A. hours before his DUI arrest ... because we obtained video clearly showing he was utterly out of it on the jet.

Chris was on an Air Canada flight Sunday when the flight crew radioed ahead that Kattan was stumbling around, complaining he had run out of his prescription.

The video is disturbing ... because Chris seems as out of it as he was when the CHP arrested him on the 101 Freeway. The fact that he drove a car on the surface streets and on the freeway before crashing into a parked vehicle is scary.

Cops say Chris admitted he had been taking Rx drugs after he was busted.

Paris Hilton might want to stay clear of L.A. for a while ... the man covered in Paris tattoos who was arrested in front of her house has been cut loose.

31-year-old Lukas Redanz was released Tuesday -- after authorities decided he didn't really commit a crime. But what he DID do is sure scary.

TMZ broke the story ... Redanz was busted Friday outside Paris' gated community -- his 2nd visit -- after Redanz told security he was in love with Paris and had to see her. Cops found coke on him.

The German citizen was covered in Paris tattoos and appeared wasted.

We're told the L.A. County D.A. won't charge the guy with possession -- because there was only a tiny amount of coke residue.

Chris Kattan seemed wasted as he drove on the 101 Freeway, just before he careened into a coned area and crashed into a parked vehicle ... this according to the 2 people who called 911.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris was popped early Monday morning after other drivers sounded the 911 alarm. After weaving at speeds approaching 70 MPH, he crashed into a Dept. of Transportation vehicle. Chris was arrested for DUI and law enforcement sources tell us Chris admitted he was on Rx meds.

One 911 caller says it seemed to him, "He has to be drunk."

Chris Kattan was so out of it on an L.A. bound jet ... paramedics were called to help him off the plane when it landed in L.A. -- and that was just hours before he was busted for DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... late Sunday afternoon ... the flight crew radioed that Kattan was acting in a bizarre fashion ... walking up and down the first class aisle, talking to himself about running out of medication.

We're told Chris was ranting that the flight had been delayed 3 hours and his Rx supply had run out.

Sources say 2 doctors who happened to be on the plane calmed Chris down and when the plane landed paramedics from the L.A. City Fire Dept. helped him off the plane and talked to him. We're told Chris got some sort of treatment and then left on his own.

Hours later ... Chris was on the 101 Freeway ... driving erratically before slamming into a parked Dept. of Transportation vehicle inside a coned area. He flunked the field sobriety test -- which is apparent from the video -- and was arrested for DUI.

The cheerleading coach from "Cheer Perfection" who got busted for marijuana a month ago ... is back in the gym coaching young kids again ... and parents are pissed.

TMZ broke the story ... Ronald Dunlap -- co-owner of the gym featured on the TLC reality show -- was busted on January 15 with another coach for possession of pot and drug paraphernalia.

Now parents at the gym tell us Dunlap was back leading classes at Cheer Time Revolution last week. We're told many parents are angry because they never got a heads up he was coming back.

Dunlap's wife and CTR co-owner ... Alisha had suspended him indefinitely due to a zero tolerance drug policy. Alisha now tells us her husband was only back temporarily because they were "short-staffed" one day.

She added CTR is in the process of drug testing all staff members -- and once Dunlap tests clean ... he'll be back permanently.

Soulja Boy's stupidity knows no bounds -- the rapper recently posted photos online prominently featuring high-end sizzurp ... just days after his gun arrest, and judging by his choice of codeine cough medicine, Justin Bieber would be proud.

TMZ broke the story ... Soulja got busted a couple weeks ago for having a loaded gun in his car.

You'd think that would scare him straight -- but last week, Soulja Instagrammed photos of himself sitting beside a GIANT bottle of Actavis brand cough syrup ... the same high end brand Bieber chugs.

Also notice ... the bottle of Sprite, a very common sizzurp mixer. And the double Icee cups.

As we reported, a large bottle of Actavis runs about $800 on the street -- sans prescription.

Thiago Silva has a serious cocaine problem ... so says his estranged wife who claims the drug made him paranoid ... though Thiago's lawyer tells TMZ Sports she's full of crap.

Thaysa Silva spoke with a Brazilian media outlet and said the UFC fighter's cocaine habit led to the demise of their marriage AND last week's gun-wielding showdown at a jiu-jitsu academy in Florida.

"The problem was cocaine. He always thinks he’s above the law," Thaysa said ... "He had the cocaine paranoia."

We spoke with Thiago's attorney who tells us ... "The claims are not justified" ... and notes that no cocaine was found on the scene, at Thiago's house or anywhere else connected to the fighter.

Even though they're technically still married, Thaysa says her relationship with Thiago ended more than a year ago.

"My marriage was over in December of 2012. In our relationship, I had to deal with the imbalance and aggressions. But I never went to talk to the police because I fear the reactions. Even after I was assaulted, I did not speak."

Thaysa also described the alleged encounter that went down at her house in the weeks before the arrest ... saying, "He came to my house, tore my clothes and pointed a gun at my head."

Justin Bieber is on the offensive after embarrassing video surfaced of him getting patted down in jail following his DUI arrest in Miami Beach -- TMZ has learned, he's now begging for ALL police video to stay out of the public eye ... including footage of him urinating in his jail cell.

The pat down video surfaced last week -- showing Bieber getting the old "spread 'em" routine -- and his lawyers are upset ... now asking the court to block police from releasing any more footage from the singer's arrest without showing it to them first.

Not only does the footage paint a negative picture of Bieber -- for obvious reasons -- Bieber's lawyers claim additional video inside the station shows the singer in "various states of undress, which show intimate personal parts" of his body.

And law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the "personal parts" in question are revealed while Bieber urinates in his holding cell.

A source who saw the video tells us, "Justin is seen several times stumbling around while he was taking his tests. As if he had a problem with his balance ... [the video] also shows Justin taking his various tests and eventually taking a piss."

The source adds, "The stumbling and going to the bathroom is obviously reason enough for his attorneys to request it be sealed ... If I was trying to paint a picture that my client was innocent ... I wouldn’t want a video of him stumbling around and looking out of it to go public either."

Not like it's anything we haven't seen before.

Paris Hilton says of all the stalkers she's ever had ... the guy who showed up at her L.A. home covered in Paris tats is the creepiest.

Paris put as much domestic distance as she could between the now-jailed German fan and herself. She immediately flew 2,475 miles to NYC ... where she told us the bitter cold is way better than the sunny stalker.

Chris Kattan expects that you can drive your car on the freeway, crash into a parked vehicle, come close to killing someone, get arrested for driving under the influence -- but it's reprehensible for reporters to call him out on it.

Chris just tweeted, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."

Kattan explains his arrest this way: "I just got back from a 15 hour flight after touring out of the country. I was exhausted. The police were so kind. I'm lucky nobody was hurt."

Our law enforcement sources say ... Kattan confessed to cops he was on Rx meds while driving erratically on the 101 Freeway, before striking a Dept. of Transportation vehicle that was inside a coned area.

Kattan also says he "passed all the tests" -- an odd comment, because he flunked the field sobriety test in spectacular fashion.

We'll stop on this one ... hard to find something nice to say about it.

Trinidad James may have looked baked out of his mind in the mug shot after his arrest last week ... but pics don't convict ...so James is walking ... TMZ has learned.

James was busted Friday for possession of marijuana after lighting up in his Mississippi Holiday Inn hotel room -- but after further investigation, cops have backed off the case.

We asked repeatedly why they won't even present the case to prosecutors ... but we got nothin'.

Chris Kattan was arrested for DUI early this morning after his car struck a vehicle ... and TMZ has learned he allegedly confessed he was on prescription meds.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member was arrested on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley just after 1 AM.

Another driver called CHP to report another driver in a Mercedes who was "weaving all over the roadway at slow speeds."

Kattan allegedly then crossed into an area that was coned off for a freeway closure and he struck a Dept. of Transportation vehicle from behind.

Kattan was not injured and apparently there was no one in the DOT vehicle.

Cops say Kattan appeared out of it. Our sources tell us he was arrested and booked for DUI ... specifically drugs, NOT alcohol.

The guy accused of selling Philip Seymour Hoffman the heroin that killed him SWEARS he didn't do it -- but he wouldn't deny selling heroin to Hoffman in the past.

Robert Vineberg -- who did an interview with the NY Post from inside jail over the weekend -- says he hadn't seen Hoffman since last year ... long before the actor passed away.

If he had known Hoffman was in town the weekend he died, Vineberg says he would have tried to "save him" because he knew the actor had a serious heroin problem.

Which sounds like BS ... because when Vineberg was asked if he had ever dealt heroin to Hoffman in the months before the actor's death, Vineberg declined to comment. Nevertheless, Vineberg insists the heroin Hoffman injected immediately before his death was NOT from him.

As for Hoffman's drug use, Vineberg seemed to know a lot about it, claiming he's convinced Hoffman was using 10 bags of heroin a day.

Nine members of the University of Tennessee football team were busted at a HUGE team rager over the weekend ... with booze, weed and FIGHTS, this according to the cops.

TMZ Sports has learned ... cops initially responded to an off-campus party in Knoxville just after midnight on Sunday morning after getting noise complaints. Cops say the party was hosted by Dontavis Sapp -- a former UT linebacker.

Cops say they went to talk to Sapp ... but he was clearly wasted ... and they tried to take him into custody. That's when, cops say, senior linebacker AJ Johnson stepped in ... and grabbed a cop by the shoulder, in an effort to keep Sapp from being arrested.

Johnson was "pulled to the ground" by one of the cops who says the football player "continued to resist arrest by pulling away and rolling around."

Cops say .... another player, 20-year-old defensive lineman Danny O'Brien, was also hammered and combative and was taken into custody "after a brief struggle."

Cops cited 3 other football players -- Curt Maggitt (LB), Jakob Johnson (LB) and Jalen Reeves-Maybin (LB) -- who allegedly provided booze and weed to underage party guests, including:

-- Dontavius Blair (OL)
-- Dimarya Mixon (DL)
-- Justin Coleman (DB)
-- Malik Brown (DL)

The 4 players were cited for underage drinking.

A spokesperson for UT tells us ... "We are aware of the situation and are still in the preliminary stages of gathering all facts and information."

Paris Hilton is freaked out over a German guy who flew to L.A., and made a beeline for her house -- and when cops arrested him, his body told a very scary love story.

Sources familiar with the incident tell TMZ ... the guy took a cab from LAX Thursday night and went right to Paris' house. He got to the guard gate and appeared "extremely drunk."

The man told the guard he was in love with Paris and had to see her. He was turned away but came back the next day ... again, looking extremely wasted.

This time guards called the cops and the guy was arrested for possession of coke. When cops took a close look it was downright freaky -- the guy had tattoos of Paris all over him -- tattoos of her face, her full body and another angle with angel wings coming out of her back.

Former 1st round NFL draft pick Keith McCants was arrested for drugs in Alabama this weekend, TMZ Sports has learned.

The 45-year--old -- who played for the Tampa Bay Bucs, Houston Oilers and AZ Cardinals from '90 to '95 -- was popped for possession of a controlled substance in Mobile on Sunday morning.

It's AT LEAST the 12th time McCants has been busted for drugs since 2002 -- including cocaine arrests in 2011 and 2010.

Keith's life has been in a tailspin for years ... just a few years ago, he appeared on the 2012 ESPN "30 for 30" documentary "Broke" and talked about how he squandered his immense fortune on houses, cars and boats.
