Mug Shot

Two stars of "Hardcore Pawn: Chicago" were busted for allegedly stealing from the pawn shop where they worked and re-pawning the loot for gambling money ... according to store owners.

Jeremy Jackson and Karl Bell were arrested last month by Chicago cops and charged with one count each of felony theft.

The owners of Royal Pawn Shop -- where the show is taped -- told us they called the cops after noticing Rolex watches, jewelry and other valuables disappearing from the store.

The owners say they became suspicious of the two men because they always had money for gambling ... even though Karl never seemed to win and Jeremy was just a part-time employee.

"Take it to Da House" rapper Trick Daddy was busted for allegedly having cocaine and a handgun Thursday night ... and the guy's mug shot is on par with Nick Nolte.

Trick Daddy -- real name Maurice Young -- was NOT having a good hair day when cops stopped him outside his Florida home ... and according to docs, officers told the rapper they had a warrant to search his place.

Cops say they found a gram of cocaine in his nightstand and a 9mm gun under his pillow.

He was booked into jail and later bonded out -- after being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, and driving with a suspended license.

Now, being honest ... it's a little too thin to top Nolte's mug.

Former "Client List" star Colin Egglesfield sounds like he could use a "massage" from Jennifer Love Hewitt ... because he was busted over the weekend after going BALLISTIC at an art show in Tempe, Arizona.

According to Tempe PD, Egglesfield was arrested on Saturday for one count of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal damage. The arrest report says cops spotted Egglesfield knocking over metal stanchions, flipping over a table, and breaking several signs.

He was eventually released after posting $1,000 bond.

There's really not much more to say, so here's a montage of JLH's various outfits on "The Client List."

Judge Joe Brown just got a taste of his own medicine -- the former TV judge was arrested after allegedly blowing a gasket at a Memphis juvenile court ... TMZ has confirmed.

Brown showed up to court Monday to represent someone in a child support case -- but was turned away by court staff, who informed Brown they had no record of the case in question.

Brown reportedly lost it ... becoming verbally abusive and was warned several times to quiet down.

We're told Brown -- who is running for D.A. of Shelby County -- was "playing to the peanut gallery" and "incited a near riot."

Brown reportedly ignored the judge and was subsequently arrested for contempt of court.

Brown was cited for contempt 5 times and ultimately ordered to spend 5 days in jail. He left under his own power and was screaming the entire time. Check out the audio from court ... it's wild.

Former NBA superstar Ben Wallace is currently behind bars in Virginia stemming from a hit-and-run incident in February.

The ex-Detroit Pistons tough guy had appeared in court Tuesday wheer he plead no contest to leaving the scene of a crash in Henrico County, VA on February 8th.

According to police, a vehicle registered to Wallace crashed through a fence outside of a home on a busy stretch of road and then fled the scene ... leaving his SUV unattended at the home.

Chief Keef really does hate being sober -- TMZ has learned, the rapper was popped for DUI ... less than two weeks after he left rehab for weed.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Keef was pulled over in Highland Park, IL early in the AM on March 5th for having expired tags on his 2010 Jeep Cherokee. When officers approached the vehicle, we're told it reeked of pot and, according to our sources, Keef openly admitted to smoking before driving.

We're told police administered a field sobriety test and Keef choked. He was placed under arrest at the scene. In addition to DUI, Keef was also charged with driving on a suspended license and cited for having no proof of insurance.

The rapper was subsequently released after posting $300 bail.

It's crazy for several reasons -- Keef had just left court-ordered rehab for weed addiction in February ... and three days after his arrest, he posted a pic of himself smoking weed on Instagram.

7:51 AM PT -- Cops say Irsay had "multiple prescription drugs" in various pill bottles at the time of the arrest.

Cops also say Irsay was initially stopped just before midnight on Sunday after an officer noticed him driving really slow and failing to signal before making a turn.

After he was pulled over, Irsay failed several field sobriety tests and was eventually arrested for OWI.

Cops say the prescription pills found in Irsay's car did not match up with the prescription bottles.

He was ultimately popped for 4 felony counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was ARRESTED early Monday morning in Indiana for operating a vehicle while intoxicated ... this according to officials.

54-year-old Irsay was booked at 3:07 AM. He was also arrested for possession of a controlled substance ... though so far, it's unclear what that substance was.

Irsay was hauled to a jail in Hamilton County, Indiana. Jim's total bond was set at $22,500, according to the official jail website.

FYI -- The Colts have been in Jim's family for decades. Irsay's father purchased the Colts when Jim was 12 years old.

Story developing ...

Tyler the Creator was arrested Saturday afternoon at an airport in Texas ... after cops say they had a warrant with his name on it -- for starting a riot at the SXSW festival.

Austin PD officials say Tyler was booked this afternoon for inciting a riot at his concert Thursday.

Cops released a video of the riot (below) -- and Tyler is clearly telling everyone to break down the barricade to get in. The scene is pretty scary.

As you may recall, Tyler's concert was cancelled the night before -- after a driver plowed into a crowd of people waiting to get in -- leaving 2 dead and 23 injured.

According to the warrant ... a bartender at the facility told police he tried protecting a woman from getting trampled on ... but a guy punched him in the face for it.

Tyler's still in custody on a $3,500 bond.

Call it the rematch ... Michael Lohan and Kate Major had another blowout fight tonight -- but this one ended with her in handcuffs for DUI ... TMZ has learned.

Michael claims they were in a nasty argument at their home in FL when she hit him multiple times in the face.

We're told Lohan called 911, and just as cops arrived ... Kate was fleeing in her car.

She didn't get far -- according to law enforcement, Kate crashed into some bushes near the house ... and was busted for allegedly driving intoxicated.

We're told she's still in custody, and getting booked for DUI ... and possibly domestic battery.

Less than a month ago Kate locked herself in a bedroom, and claimed Michael was trying to break down the door while brandishing a knife.

Police responded to calm the sitch, but no one was arrested ... that time.

A star high school running back -- who reportedly committed to the University of South Florida -- was arrested Sunday after allegedly pulling a gun on a police officer ... all thanks to a brave police dog.

The suspect -- 18-year-old Marquise Bryant -- was confronted by an officer in Fort Myers, FL for loitering around 2:30 AM.

During the incident, the cop says Bryant reached for his right front pocket -- even after the cop told him to put his hands up.

The cop says Bryant continued to go for the pocket ... and a fight broke out between the two -- with Bryant allegedly pulling out a gun at one point.

But the officer was able to click a button that released his police dog Bala from the cop car -- and Bala bit Bryant on his right thigh.

Chris Kattan just pled not guilty to DUI ... and in an unusual move, the judge ordered him to attend AA meetings.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris crashed his Mercedes into a parked car on the freeway last month after allegedly admitting he had taken Rx drugs. Earlier that day he was totally out of it on an airplane.

Chris entered his not guilty plea Monday morning and the judge ordered him to attend 2 AA meetings per week -- as a condition to bail. It's odd ... because everything we've found about AA focuses on alcohol ... not prescription meds. And alcohol was not a factor in the accident.

It's also curious ... the judge didn't order Chris to abstain from meds or booze.

10:34 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has now obtained the original criminal complaint filed against Tarver in Nevada in 2013 ... which shows he was charged with fraud and theft for taking out the money in 2012 and never paying it back.

Former boxing champ Antonio Tarver never paid back $200,000 in gambling markers to the Wynn Las Vegas from a gambling binge in 2012 ... so says a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.

Tarver was arrested in Florida over the weekend on a warrant out of Nevada -- the arrest documents were vague about the nature of the alleged offense.

According to the Wynn, Tarver took out $50k on July 24, 2012 ... another $50k on July 26 ... and $100k on July 27 ... totaling $200k.

2:48 PM PT -- According to court records, Tarver's legal problems in Nevada stem from a beef with the Wynn Las Vegas ... and it appears Wynn is accusing Tarver of not paying back a gambling marker.

The records show that Wynn went after Tarver for "breach of contract" ... which happens to be the same accusation that Wynn made against "Girls Gone Wild" honcho Joe Francis for allegedly not paying back a $2 million gambling marker he took out in 2007.

Former boxing champ Antonio Tarver -- who also appeared in "Rocky Balboa" -- was arrested in Florida on Saturday stemming from a warrant out for his arrest in Nevada.

Law enforcement sources tell us the 45-year-old fighter was pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol for a routine "tag violation" ... and during the stop, the trooper noticed the warrant.

According to reports, Tarver was wanted in Nevada for failing to appear in court. Apparently, Tarver was out on bail at the time he skipped court ... so the bench warrant was issued.

We're still working on finding out details from the original Nevada court case ... but it appears he's accused of writing bad checks.

Now, Tarver is locked up in FL -- but officials in Nevada are looking to extradite him back to the Silver State.

If you're gonna get popped for cooking meth, you might as well dress the part -- some 21-year-old was just arrested in Illinois for making crystal meth inside his house ... and he was hauled in wearing a Los Pollos Hermanos t-shirt from "Breaking Bad."

The Smoking Gun broke the story ... cops pounced on Daniel Kowalski after receiving a tip that he was cooking glass again ... following his first meth arrest in July.

Gus would be proud.
