As for the tweet, Fakih posted around 5:00 PM on Saturday: "Let’s clear things up now.... I’m NOT in Michigan and I’m NOT in jail! Wrong Fakih."

The tweet has since been deleted.

Story developing ...

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.

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.

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.
