'Devils Ride' Star Trying to Cop Deal Over Hit & Run, DUI
"The Devils Ride" star Chris Boultinghouse is in the middle of negotiating a big deal ... but it's not a new reality show ... it's a plea bargain over a DUI.
We've learned ... Boultinghouse's lawyer was in court last week ... trying to bring a quick end to what has been a 5-month legal order.
Boultinghouse has been charged with hit and run and TWO counts of DUI after he allegedly went on a drunken joyride in November through the mean streets of the O.C..
White Boi -- as he's known on the Discovery reality show about a San Diego biker gang -- allegedly smashed his Escalade into a Toyota Prius and bolted.
But he didn't get far ... we're told a few Good Samaritans called 911 with his license plate number, and cops quickly tracked him down. Police say he reeked of alcohol and bombed his field sobriety test.
Ride with the devil, get the horns.

Reese Witherspoon ARRESTED 'You're About to Find Out Who I Am!'
6:33 AM PT -- Reese and Jim won't be in court today ... they had their cases continued until hearings set in Atlanta for May 22 and May 23, respectively.
9:40 PM PT-- Reese has just released a statement, saying,
Reese Witherspoon pulled her celebrity card out while her husband was getting arrested for DUI, telling the officer who ended up busting her, "You're about to find out who I am."
The arrests went down in Atlanta early Friday morning. Cops say they spotted Reese and her husband Jim Toth's car -- a silver Ford Fusion -- weaving in and out of lanes, so they pulled them over.
As officers dealt with Jim, Reese allegedly started acting up, telling cops, "Do you know my name?" The officer answered by saying, "No, I don't need to know your name."
Witherspoon then came back with, "You're about to find out who I am ... You are going to be on national news."
During Jim's arrest, Reese allegedly became ornery, demonstrating visual and verbal frustration over how long it was taking to arrest her husband. At one point, she got out of her car and the officer ordered her back inside. When she got out a second time, he arrested her for disorderly conduct, a municipal ordinance.
They were both taken to jail, booked, and released a short time later.
As for Toth's part of the arrest ... the officer in the report described him by saying his "eye lids were droopy" and his eyes were "blood shot and watery." The officer said he smelled a "strong odor" of alcohol coming from Toth.
The officer stated that Toth told him he only had one drink, but -- as first reported by Variety -- when given a Breathalyzer test, Toth's blood alcohol level was .139.
In Reese's defense maybe she played the celeb card because she had as much to drink as her hubby. Just sayin' ...

Coolio tried convincing cops HE was the victim and that she scratched him in a jealous rage, but they weren't buyin' what he was sellin' ... so he was taken to the pokey.

'Babe' Star James Cromwell Slap on the Wrist After Cat Torture Protest
73-year-old "Babe" star James Cromwell got off easy after his disorderly conduct arrest last month ... when he burst into a UW-Madison board meeting, protesting cat torture at the university.
Cromwell's case was called today in Wisconsin where he pled no contest to a low level charge of disorderly conduct. His punishment is a measly $100 fine, which he paid on the spot.
As we reported, Cromwell was busted along with a PETA spokesperson after they barged into the board meeting, claiming the school's labs tortured cats in the name of science. Cromwell waved a sign with a photo of an abused cat, and shouted, "This is not science! This is cruel!"
A rep for the D.A. tells us, prosecutors went easy because the duration of yelling wasn’t particularly long, he cooperated with law enforcement, no one in the room was really disturbed by the protest, and he had no criminal history.
And it WAS kinda funny.
