DUI

Ryan Rottman, the Nickelodeon/90210 star who was charged with drunk driving, will not have a DUI on his record, because both DUI charges have been thrown out.

Rottman copped a lesser plea in court today to misdemeanor reckless driving. He was arrested in Hollywood last July, minutes after leaving an Irish pub where he partied with Zac Efron and Rumer Willis (below).

Given that Rottman allegedly blew a .19 -- more than twice the legal limit -- seems like something was wonky with the case.

"My Generation" actress Anne Son was arrested this week -- after allegedly going on a drunken joyride through L.A. ... and careening into a parked cop car.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, it all went down early Wednesday morning -- a couple of officers had parked their cruiser on a street corner while investigating an unrelated incident ... and Son smashed into the black-and-white out of nowhere.

We're told Son then kept driving -- and the officers on scene had to pursue her car on foot.

According to sources, Son eventually stopped further down the block -- and when police finally caught up to her, they were met with an overwhelming odor of alcohol emanating from Son's vehicle.

Officers administered a field sobriety test -- and Son allegedly blew a .19 and a .20 ... well over DOUBLE the legal limit in California.

Kevin Dunn ... a former cast member on "The Real World" was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving earlier this month ... after cops say he nearly collided with a police car.

Dunn, now an anchor for ESPN's Longhorn Network, was arrested in his hometown of Austin, Texas on October 5th for misdemeanor D.U.I.

According to an affidavit ... Dunn blew through a lane of oncoming traffic, nearly smashing into a cop car. The officer says he had to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision ... and subsequently pulled Dunn over.

Back in 2001, Dunn was part of "The Real World: Back to New York" where he was described as having a "sharp sense of humor."

"That's So Raven" star Orlando Brown has struck a plea deal in his DUI case ... which will keep him out of jail, if he can keep himself out of trouble.

As TMZ first reported, Brown was busted back on August 12 for driving under the influence -- and he allegedly had a BAC of more than twice the legal limit.

Even though Brown's manager maintained his innocence ... the L.A. City Attorney's Office tells TMZ that Brown pled no contest this week to one count of driving with a BAC over .08%.

He was given 36 months probation, paid a $390 fine (plus penalty costs), sentenced to one day in jail (time served), ordered to undergo an alcohol education program, and attend 10 AA meetings.

Mitchel Musso -- who starred alongside Miley Cyrus on "Hannah Montana" -- has been charged with 2 counts of drunk driving stemming from his arrest in Burbank, CA earlier this week.

Law enforcement sources tells TMZ ... the Burbank City Attorney has charged Musso with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher -- both misdemeanors.

If convicted on both counts, 20-year-old Musso faces a maximum of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The reality, however, is that no first-time DUI offender in LA County is sentenced to jail ... unless there are aggravating circumstances, and our sources says there are no aggravating circumstances here.

Musso will almost certainly be given probation, along with a mandatory alcohol education class and fines.

TMZ broke the story ... Musso was pulled over at 3:43 AM Sunday ... after he allegedly failed to slow down for cops who were directing traffic for an unrelated accident. Cops suspected he was hammered and placed him under arrest.

Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose strolled out of an LAPD station at 3:00 AM today ... after his BFF was arrested for DUI ... and Derrick was a passenger in the car.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ .... the 2011 NBA MVP was a passenger in a black BMW being driven by his close friend and personal assistant Randall Hampton ... when cops stopped the car on a routine traffic violation at around 2:00 AM Friday morning.

When cops spoke to Hampton -- who played high school basketball with Rose -- officers claim they detected the odor of alcohol.

Hampton was given a field sobriety test ... and was eventually arrested on suspicion of DUI. Rose was free to go.

Hampton was hauled to the Hollywood police station, where he was booked. Rose arrived to the station shortly after to check on his friend.

TMZ shot footage of Rose leaving the police station by himself at 3:00 AM ... but he clearly wasn't in the mood to talk.

Hampton has just been released on his own recognizance.

Mitchel Musso -- the Disney star who played Oliver Oken on "Hannah Montana" -- was arrested for drunk driving in Burbank, CA yesterday ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... 20-year-old Musso was pulled over at 3:43 AM Sunday ... after he failed to slow down for cops who were directing traffic for an unrelated accident.

We're told ... cops approached Musso's 2007 black Mercedes Benz and detected a "strong odor of alcohol."

Musso -- who also stars on the Disney hits "Pair of Kings" and "PrankStars" -- was given a field sobriety test ... and we're told he performed poorly.

Law enforcement sources also tell us ... Musso was given a breathalyzer test and blew WELL ABOVE .08 ... the legal limit in CA for people who are OVER the age of 21.

Musso was booked on suspicion of DUI and hauled to a nearby station. Bail was set at $5,000.

According to his booking sheet, Musso is 5'8" and 133 lbs.

Shelby Cobra -- who used to sing for that Disney girl band KSM -- just got sentenced in her DUI case ... and the judge took no mercy ... ordering her to look death right in the face at a hospital morgue.

TMZ broke the story ... 18-year-old Cobra -- real name Shelby Spalione -- was arrested last month on suspicion of DUI ... registering a blood alcohol level of .15, nearly twice the legal limit.

Shelby was sentenced on Thursday to enroll in the L.A. County Hospital and Morgue program -- which requires participants to visit a real-life morgue with real-life dead people ... and potentially even witness an autopsy.

According to court records, Shelby is also required to complete a 3-month alcohol education program and attend 16 AA meetings. She's also required to pay $1,738 in fees.

He may have been reckless ... but wrestling champ Kurt Angle will not be prosecuted for drunk driving stemming from a September arrest in Warren County, Virgina.

TMZ has learned ... prosecutors have reviewed the case, and have agreed to reduce the charge to misdemeanor reckless driving.

We're guessing they finally caught a glimpse of the police report, which showed Angle's blood alcohol level measured in at .06 on the night he was arrested ... which is under the legal limit in VA, .08.

If convicted, Angle still faces up to 12 months behind bars and up to $2,500 in fines.

Former wrestling star Jeff Hardy has checked into a North Carolina jail to serve his 10-day sentence stemming from a drug arrest back in 2009 ... TMZ has learned.

Hardy was arrested on Sept. 11, 2009 after cops say they found all sorts of drugs in his home -- including opium and cocaine.

Hardy struck a deal with prosecutors ... in which he agreed to plead guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of conspiracy to traffic in exchange for a 10 day jail sentence, 30 months of probation and a $100k fine.

34-year-old Hardy -- who took a brand new mug shot upon arrival to the jail -- was listed at 6'1" and 215 lbs.

TMZ has obtained the mug shot of wrestling star Matt Hardy -- taken moments after he was arrested on suspicion of DUI in North Carolina on Monday ... the second time in a few weeks.

As we first reported, Hardy was popped on Monday, after allegedly swerving all over the road -- nearly hitting several other cars.

More trouble for ex-WWE champ Matt Hardy -- the 36-year-old was arrested for driving under the influence in North Carolina this week ... the second time in the last couple of weeks.

According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ ... cops received a complaint of a "possible drunk driver" late Monday afternoon ... who almost "hit two drivers three separate times."

When the cop spotted Hardy, the wrestler's car, "swerved into the curb and then back onto the road."

Once Hardy was pulled over, the officer claims Hardy "had slow and slurred speech, sleepy eyes and a very lackadaisical demeanor."

According to the report, Hardy took the walk-the-line test -- but "after taking two steps, Mr. Hardy lost his balance and failed to stay on the line."

Hardy took a breathalyzer -- but when the results showed he wasn't drunk ... cops called in a "Drug Recognition Officer" to perform even more tests.

Eventually, cops believed Hardy was under the influence of something ... and arrested him on the spot.

Hardy is scheduled to appear in court on November 30.

Shelby Cobra, lead singer of the now-defunct Disney girl band KSM, was arrested early Friday morning for driving under the influence -- and according to our sources ... her blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. Did we mention she's only 18?

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Cobra, real name Shelby Spalione, was spotted in Studio City driving a 2005 Ford F150 with the dome light on and a passenger who was not only not wearing a seat belt, but was sitting sideways.

We're told when cops pulled the car over, they detected alcohol on Shelby's breath and administered a blood alcohol test ... which registered a whopping 0.15%.

She was arrested and booked into Van Nuys jail at around 2:00 AM. Shelby was released just before 11:00 AM on her own recognizance.

KSM was originally formed as a kids version of a Go-Go's cover band. Shelby joined the group later on and the focus shifted from pop to rock. The band broke up in 2010.

"That’s so Raven" star Orlando Brown claims he was NOT driving drunk on the night he was arrested for DUI ... in fact, dude claims he wasn't DRIVING at all.

TMZ spoke with Brown's manager Reno Rankin ... who tells us the 23-year-old actor admits he drank 3 glasses of wine in his home on August 12 ... when a female friend drove over to listen to his new CD.

Brown says he was so excited to play the album for his friend ... he waited for her outside his L.A. home and when she rolled up, he got into the driver's seat to pop his CD into the player.

As TMZ previously reported, cops claim the car didn't have a license plate -- and they stopped to check out the situation. That's when they found Brown behind the wheel and arrested him for DUI.

But Brown's rep tells us, "He never intended to drive anywhere at all" -- insisting he was ONLY in the car to play the CD for his friend.

Wrestling superstar Kurt Angle says his blood alcohol level was WAY under the legal limit when he was arrested for drunk driving this weekend ... and now TMZ has a police document that seems to back up his story.

We've obtained the Certificate of Blood Alcohol Analysis ... issued by the State of Virginia ... which shows Kurt's B.A.C. was .06 at the time of his arrest. The legal limit in VA is .08.

The TNA Wrestling champ has released a statement on the matter ... saying, "I did not believe my driving behavior was reckless or otherwise improper."

He adds, "I fully cooperated with the officer who clearly recognized me while performing his standard procedures. Subsequent to the stop, I was asked to submit to a breathalyzer test and passed. I do not believe that I broke any laws and will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any pending charges."

As TMZ previously reported, troopers pulled over Angle's car after receiving a tip from another motorist ... who claimed the wrestler was driving erratically.

Angle explains, "I was returning from an iMPACT Wrestling show in an unfamiliar place, late at night and was trying to find the exit for my hotel."

Former WWE superstar Kurt Angle was pretty damn calm for a guy who claims he was wrongly arrested for drunk driving over the weekend -- telling photogs at LAX, "Of course" he'll fight the case.
