DUI

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Hogan, found himself in a jail cell early this weekend -- 'cause he got arrested for DUI ... and the location is notable.

According to online records, Nick got busted Saturday morning just before 4 AM in Clearwater, FL -- where cops booked him on suspicion of driving under the influence ... noting he allegedly refused to submit to sobriety testing.

The exact circumstances that led up to the arrest are unclear for now, but they're logging this as a misdemeanor -- and they had Nick pose for this mug while he was being processed. As of this writing, he hasn't been released from custody.

On its face, it's a simple DUI arrest ... which, while serious, wouldn't normally be all that big a  deal -- especially if nobody got hurt. However, Nick had previously been involved in a scary car accident way back in the 2000s when he was just a teen ... also in Clearwater, FL.

It was a well-documented saga at the time ... Nick was driving with a Marine friend of his -- John Graziano -- who suffered a serious brain injury from the wreck ... but survived.

Nick, who was 17 at the time, ultimately pleaded no contest to reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. In the lead-up to that plea, cops had alleged alcohol was involved. Nick went on to serve an 8-month sentence behind bars in the aftermath.

Of course, the Graziano family also sued the Hogans over the accident ... and they settled out of court.

Nick doesn't appear to have any reps at the moment -- so we reached out to Hulk's camp for comment ... but no word back yet.

A California lawmaker is now in trouble with the law after she blamed her drunk driving arrest on a sneeze, causing her to crash -- while she was reportedly double the legal alcohol limit.

State Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo was cruising in her Audi in L.A. early Friday morning when she collided with another car, which lurched forward, striking a third vehicle.

A resident heard a loud bang and ran outside with his cell phone, filming what he described as an obviously intoxicated Carrillo, who was slurring her words and reeked of booze.

Check out the video ... responding LAPD officers approached Carrillo, who offered this explanation for the crash, "I'm sorry, I sneezed, and I lost track of the vehicle."

The cops administered a field sobriety test to Carrillo, who, at one point, lost her balance and nearly fell to the ground, but one of the officers caught her.

Carrillo was then arrested and booked for suspicion of driving under the influence during a traffic collision with a high blood-alcohol count, the L.A. Times reported.

LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz told the media outlet Carrillo's alcohol level was “double the legal limit or more.”

After she was released from jail without bail, Carrillo issued a statement, accepting responsibility for her actions, while acknowledging as a public servant she must be held to a higher standard. She also apologized to her family, constituents and staff members and promised to "seek the necessary help and support.”

Shannon Beador is finally breaking her silence about her DUI and hit-and-run ... this after getting 3 years of probation for her dangerous drive.

The 'RHOC' star tells TMZ ... "I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident. I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far."

As we reported, Shannon pleaded no contest Thursday and avoided jail time in her DUI case ... but was sentenced to 3 years of probation -- plus fees, fines, 40 hours of community service and a 9-month alcohol program.

Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer tried to get the judge to give her a harsher sentence for the accident, including 30 days in jail, but the judge ruled differently -- and also dismissed one count of hit-and-run with property damage.

Shannon's lawyer, Michael Fell, tells TMZ ... the judge denied the D.A.'s jail time request and dropped the hit-and-run charge after receiving "legal arguments from both sides," adding, "Shannon had made full restitution to the homeowner in this matter, who did not desire prosecution."

He says Shannon already admitted her wrongdoing "at an early stage of the proceedings," taking full responsibility for her actions.

Shannon Beador finalmente está rompiendo su silencio sobre su detención por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol y darse a la fuga luego de un atropello. Esto, después de conseguir tres años de libertad condicional por su peligrosa conducción.

La estrella de The Real Housewives of Orange County le dice a TMZ: "Estoy agradecida de que nadie más resultó herido en este accidente, además de mí. He aprendido mucho de mi terrible error esa noche y el darse cuenta de que conducir cualquier distancia mientras no te encuentras bien es demasiado lejos".

Como informamos, Shannon no se declaró culpable en el caso por conducir en estado de ebriedad y logró evitar la cárcel, pero fue condenada a 3 años de libertad condicional, más honorarios, multas, 40 horas de servicio comunitario y un programa de alcohol de 9 meses.

El fiscal del distrito de Orange County, Todd Spitzer intentó que el juez le diera una sentencia más dura por el accidente, lo que incluía 30 días de cárcel, pero el juez dictaminó lo contrario y también desestimó un cargo de atropello y fuga con daños a la propiedad.

El abogado de Shannon, Michael Fell, le dice a TMZ que el juez negó la petición de cárcel del fiscal y retiró el cargo de atropello y fuga después de recibir "argumentos legales de ambas partes", y agregó: "Shannon había hecho la restitución completa al propietario de la casa en este asunto, quien no deseaba un enjuiciamiento".

Dice que Shannon ya admitió su fechoría "en una etapa temprana del procedimiento", asumiendo toda la responsabilidad por sus acciones.

6:37 PM PT -- Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer is ripping the judge.

In a statement to TMZ, Spitzer says ... "Driving under the influence must have consequences. When a judge gives someone who not only drove with a blood alcohol level of .24 - three times the legal limit - but then ran away from the scene of an DUI collision a slap on the wrist, you are sending a message that DUIs are not serious crimes that demand accountability."

Spitzer adds ... "Judge London clearly felt otherwise and not only gave her a court offer, but dismissed the hit and run charge in the interest of justice. This is not justice. We as a society need to wake up and address the very real - and often deadly - consequences of driving under the influence."

Shannon Beador will avoid jail time in her DUI case ... because a judge just sentenced her to 3 years of probation.

The 'RHOC' star learned her fate Thursday, and was sentenced to 36 months informal probation, fines and fees, plus 40 hours community service and a 9-month alcohol program.

Shannon did not show face in the Orange County courtroom, instead having her attorney appear on her behalf to enter her plea of no contest to one count DUI and one count driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or more.

The judge dismissed one count of hit-and-run with property damage.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer tried to convince the judge to give Shannon a harsher sentence -- he wanted her to also serve 30 days in jail, but the judge ruled otherwise.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was arrested in September after slamming her car into a Newport Beach home, with surveillance footage showing her car zipping through a residential area before her crash.

In the docs, the D.A. says she had a .24% BAC after the crash ... and she suffered a fractured left wrist, plus cuts and bruising to her left eye. Shannon's since paid for the property damage.

BTW ... Shannon's still set to appear at BravoCon this weekend in Vegas.

Shannon Beador evitará la cárcel en su caso de conducción bajo estado de ebriedad, porque un juez acaba de condenarla a tres años de libertad condicional.

La estrella de 'RHOC' (The Real Housewives of Orange County), conoció su destino el jueves y fue condenada a 36 meses de libertad condicional informal, multas y honorarios, además de 40 horas de servicio comunitario y un programa de alcohol de nueve meses.

Shannon no dio la cara en la sala del tribunal del Condado de Orange, en lugar de eso, su abogado se presentó en su nombre para realizar la declaración de no oposición a un cargo de DUI y un cargo de conducir con un contenido de alcohol en la sangre de 0.08% o más.

El juez desestimó un cargo de atropello y fuga con daños a la propiedad.

En los nuevos documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, el Condado de Orange D.A. Todd Spitzer trató de convencer al juez de darle a Shannon una sentencia más dura. Querían que pasara 30 días en la cárcel, pero el juez dictaminó lo contrario.

TMZ publicó la historia, Shannon fue detenida en septiembre después de estrellar su coche contra una casa de Newport Beach, con imágenes de vigilancia que muestra su coche a toda velocidad a través de una zona residencial antes de su accidente.

En los documentos, el D.A. dice que tenía un 24% BAC después del accidente y sufrió una fractura en la muñeca izquierda, además de cortes y contusiones en el ojo izquierdo. Shannon ha pagado por los daños causados a la propiedad.

Vontae Davis has avoided further jail time in his DUI case ... TMZ Sports has learned after cutting a plea deal with prosecutors last month, the ex-NFL star was sentenced to 12 months probation.

According to court records, Davis made the pact with officials on Oct. 23 ... agreeing to plead no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving.

In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to move forward with the other charges against Davis.

As part of his sentencing, the 35-year-old former Buffalo Bills defensive back was also ordered to pay fines and fees and cover the medical bills for the folks injured during the incident. He also must complete 50 hours of community service.

Davis had been facing six total charges -- including DUI -- stemming from allegations that he drunkenly crashed his Tesla into the back of a Toyota truck on Feb. 4 in Broward County, Fla.

The scene of the accident was terrifying ... both vehicles were totaled -- and shortly after the crash, Davis was seen appearing to be fast asleep next to the wreckage.

To make matters worse, Davis -- who played in the NFL for 10 seasons and made two Pro Bowls -- could seemingly hardly stay awake while being questioned by cops in the back of a squad car.

He did, however, ultimately tell officers he had drank two "mixed drinks" before getting behind the wheel. He added, though, he had no recollection of the car accident.

"The Challenge" star Nelson Thomas has officially been charged with DWI for his near-fatal car crash from earlier this year.

Thomas was hit with the misdemeanor charge at the end of September in Texas, according to docs obtained by TMZ ... and officers said he had "bloodshot, glassy eyes" as he explained to them that another car had swerved in front of him before the crash.

The docs say Thomas told cops he "only had 2-3 mixed alcoholic drinks," but officers claimed Thomas had a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath" while being treated for injuries at the hospital.

Cops say a blood test done while at the hospital came back with a BAC of .178 -- which kicked up his charge to Class A misdemeanor.

As we reported, Minnesota Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn and a few others helped pull Thomas out of the fiery vehicle back in March while driving by in an Uber, likely saving his life. Thomas later thanked K.J. for the heroic assist.

He also shared some pics of himself from the hospital, showing gnarly cuts and burns on his body ... and his GoFundMe was met with a ton of love and cash from fans and fellow reality TV stars like Corey Lay, Mark Long, and Tori Deal.

La estrella de "The Challenge", Nelson Thomas, ha sido oficialmente acusado de manejo en estado de ebriedad por su accidente casi fatal de principios de este año.

Thomas fue acusado con el cargo de delito menor a finales de septiembre en Texas, de acuerdo con documentos obtenidos por TMZ. Los oficiales dijeron que tenía "los ojos inyectados en sangre y vidriosos" cuando él les explicó que otro coche se había desviado delante de él antes del accidente.

Los documentos dicen que Thomas le dijo a la policía que "solo había rastro de dos o tres bebidas alcohólicas mezcladas", pero los agentes afirmaron que Thomas tenía un "fuerte olor a alcohol que emanaba de su aliento", mientras era tratado por las lesiones en el hospital.

La policía dice que un análisis de sangre realizado mostró un nivel de alcohol de 0,178, lo que significa que es un delito menor.

Como informamos, el receptor de los Minnesota Vikings (KJ Osborn) y algunos otros ayudaron a sacar a Thomas del vehículo en llamas en marzo mientras conducía en un Uber, probablemente salvando su vida. Thomas agradeció más tarde a KJ por el acto heróico.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Shannon Beador has officially been charged after she allegedly drunkenly drove into the side of a Newport Beach home last month.

Shannon's just been hit with 2 charges by the Orange County District Attorney -- one count of DUI and one count of hit-and-run, both misdemeanors. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ she blew a .24% BAC after the crash.

TMZ broke the story, the reality star was arrested in September after slamming her car into a home -- footage shows what appears to be her car flying through a residential area before her crash.

Cops said they found Shannon nearby pretending to walk her dog, but they weren't buying it and booked her on 2 misdemeanors -- DUI plus hit-and-run.

As we reported, she offered to pay for the damage done to the property and has been getting treatment.

Shannon Beador is getting herself some treatment after her recent DUI bust ... but it's not preventing her from going on tour with her fellow 'Housewives of Orange County' castmates.

Sources close to Shannon tell TMZ ... she is taking responsibility and accountability for her arrest and is currently enrolled in an outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component.

We're told Shannon still plans on participating in her upcoming 'Tres Amigas' comedy shows with Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson -- and although alcohol's been a big part of their act ... Shannon won't be drinking, and they're adjusting the show to focus more on their friendship.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was arrested last month over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's Newport Beach home, damaging a concrete planter and nearly crashing through the front door.

Surveillance footage of Shannon's alleged drunken night shows her zipping through a residential area before crashing into the property.

Remember, cops on the scene say they found Shannon pretending to walk her dog before they booked her on 2 misdemeanors ... DUI alcohol plus hit-and-run.

Shannon Beador está en modo de descanso y recuperación después de chocar su coche y ser arrestada por estado de ebriedad. Las nuevas fotos muestran que tuvo que salir adelante con un poco de ayuda de nada menos que su ex novio, John Janssen.

Échale un vistazo a estas fotos de la estrella de "RHOC" dirigiéndose a lo que nos dicen es la casa de John en Newport Beach California, sólo unos días después de que Shannon fue detenida por conducir supuestamente bajo la influencia del alcohol y luego escapar.

Shannon subió las escaleras el martes con John siguiendola de cerca. Usted puede ver que su brazo izquierdo está metido dentro de su chaqueta, y la foto de la escena dice que podría haber usado un cabestrillo lo que sugiere que se lastimó en el accidente

Lo que también es interesante es verla con John. Recordemos que habían pasado por una ruptura desagradable que devastó Shannon. Sin embargo, parece estar en su esquina de nuevo.

TMZ publicó la historia, Shannon fue llevada a la cárcel el sábado por la noche por lo que la policía dijo que era un paseo salvaje en su coche que terminó chocando la casa de alguien, dañando la jardinera de hormigón y estuvo demasiado cerca de cruzar a través de la puerta principal.

También obtuvimos un video de Shannon del supuesto incidente y las imágenes parecen mostrar su conducción errática justo antes del accidente. A traves de su abogado, Shannon dijo que esta muy arrepentida.

Shannon Beador is rest and recovery mode after crashing her car and getting busted for DUI -- and new pics show her getting by with a little help from none other than her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen.

Check out these photos of the 'RHOC' star heading up to what we're told is John's pad in Newport Beach, CA -- just a few days after Shannon was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence ... not to mention what cops say was a straight up hit-and-run.

Shannon headed up the stairs Tuesday, with John following closely behind. You can see her left arm is tucked inside her jacket, and the photog on the scene says she might've been wearing a sling ... suggesting she was injured in the crash.

What's also interesting is seeing her with John --. remember, they'd gone through a nasty split, which devastated SB. Now, however, he seems to be in her corner again.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was taken to jail Saturday night over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's home, damaging a concrete planter and damn near going through the front door.

We also obtained video of Shannon's alleged DUI incident ... and the footage appears to show her driving in an erratic manner right before the crash. Through her attorney, Shannon's said she's extremely apologetic and remorseful.

Shannon Beador's DUI isn't the only allegedly booze-fueled arrest that's gone down in the world of 'Real Housewives' ... a handful of folks from the series have been accused of and busted for similar offenses in the past.

As you know, video appears to show Shannon slamming her car into the side of a house in Newport Beach over the weekend. Law enforcement sources tell us she was trying to pretend she was walking her dog when cops arrived ... but was arrested and booked for DUI and hit-and-run.

But, Shannon's ordeal is just the tip of the 'Housewives' iceberg.

TMZ broke the story, Kim Zolciak's 20-year-old daughter, Ariana, was booked in Georgia last year for 3 separate charges ... misdemeanor DUI driving under the influence of alcohol, misdemeanor improper lane change, and underage alcohol possession.

Ariana's lawyer told us she was "involved in a minor fender bender," and said officers "incorrectly concluded she was impaired by alcohol. That was not the case. She wholly denies these allegations."

Dorit Kemsley's husband, PK, was busted for DUI in 2021 after CHP officers said they saw his Bentley weaving in traffic on L.A.'s 101 freeway. His attorney told us he had a glass of wine at dinner before driving, and regretted not finding another way home.

Law enforcement told us PK blew a .081 blood alcohol in the field, but blew a .076 when he arrived at the police station. The legal limit is .08 BAC, and we were told the level change led prosecutors to decide to not charge him.

'RHONY's Luann de Lesseps was arrested in 2017, being hit with a slew of charges after her alleged drunken rampage -- including battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and 2 counts of corruption by threat.

She allegedly told cops, "I'm going to kill you all," and later struck a plea deal for that case ... but authorities say she later violated her probation by drinking mimosas.

Kim Richards also got busted back in 2015, allegedly reeking of booze and slurring her speech while being dragged out of the bathroom by cops at the Polo Lounge inside the Beverly Hills Hotel.

She was charged with trespass, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer, and drunk in public. She eventually completed her probation.

Quite a long and wild list of arrests ... but it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Do you think Shannon Beador's DUI/hit-and-run will affect her chances of staying on the 'Real Housewives' franchise? Vote below.

La detención de Shannon Beador, por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol no es el único arresto etílico que ha pasado en el mundo de 'Real Housewives', pues un puñado de otros participantes de la serie han sido acusados y detenidos por delitos similares en el pasado.

Como ustedes ya saben, este video parece mostrar Shannon golpeando su coche dentro de una casa en Newport Beach durante el fin de semana. Fuentes policiales nos dicen que estaba tratando de fingir que paseaba a su perro cuando llegaron los policías, pero finalmente fue detenida y fichada por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol, atropello y fuga.

Pero el calvario de Shannon es sólo la punta del iceberg las 'amas de casa'.

TMZ dio a conocer la noticia: la hija de 20 años de Kim Zolciak, Ariana, fue acusada en Georgia el año pasado por tres diferentes cargos, delito menor por conducir bajo la influencia del alcohol, delito menor por cambio de carril inadecuado, y el delito de posesión de alcohol de menores de edad.

El abogado de Ariana nos dijo que ella estuvo "involucrada en un choque menor", y que los oficiales "incorrectamente concluyeron que estaba afectada por el alcohol". Ese no era el caso. Ella niega totalmente estas acusaciones".

El marido de Dorit Kemsley, Paul Kemsley, fue detenido por conducir ebrio en 2021 después de que los oficiales de California dijeran que vieron su Bentley zigzagueando en la autopista 101 de Los Ángeles. Su abogado nos dijo que tomó una copa de vino en la cena antes de conducir, y se arrepintió de no haber encontrado otro camino a casa.

Las fuerzas del orden nos dijeron que Paul dio 0,081 de alcohol en sangre en la carretera, pero 0,076 cuando llegó a la comisaría. El límite legal es .08 BAC, y según nos contaron, el cambio en el nivel llevó a los fiscales a no acusarlo.

'RHONY's Luann de Lesseps fue arrestada en 2017, y entrentada a una serie de cargos después de su presunto desenfreno etílicio, los que incluyeron una agresión a un agente de la ley, resistencia al arresto con violencia y dos cargos de corrupción por amenaza.

Supuestamente, le dijo a la policía, "voy a matarlos a todos", aunque más tarde llegó a un acuerdo de culpabilidad por ese incidente. Sin embargo, las autoridades dicen que más tarde violó su libertad condicional por beber unas mimosas.

Kim Richards también fue arrestada en 2015, supuestamente sudando alcohol y chapuceando sus palabras mientras era arrastrada fuera del baño por policías en el Polo Lounge dentro del Hotel Beverly Hills.

Fue acusada de allanamiento de morada, resistencia a la autoridad, agresión a un agente de policía y embriaguez en público. Finalmente completó su libertad condicional.

La estrella de "RHOC" Shannon Beador iba a toda velocidad por una calle residencial momentos antes de estrellar su coche contra el lateral de una casa (según  muestran las imágenes del incidente).

Beador estaba manejando por de una calle de Newport Beach el sábado justo antes de la medianoche. Al parecer juzgó mal una vuelta y terrizó justo en una propiedad.

Casi de inmediato, Beador puso marcha atrás, bajando de la acera y de nuevo a la calle antes de alejarse.

También tenemos fotos de las secuelas, mostrando un puñado de ladrillos que faltan de la casa y una enorme marca en el medio de la carretera donde ocurrió la terrible experiencia.

También parece que Beador casi golpea la puerta principal de la casa, lo cual hubiera causado estragos en la residencia.

TMZ publicó la historia, las fuentes nos dijeron Beador finalmente estacionó en medio de la calle y salió con su perro. Nos dijeron que trató de actuar como si estuviera paseando a su cachorro cuando llegaron los policías, pero los oficiales no se lo creyeron.

Un representante de Newport Beach PD dice que fue detenida y fichada por atropello y fuga y alcohol DUI, ambos delitos menores, siendo citada y puesta en libertad sin fianza.

La serie de Bravo no está actualmente en producción, por lo que no estaba filmando antes de la detención, su abogado —Michael Fell— nos dijo: "Beador está extremadamente arrepentida. Estaremos pendientes de la información oficial sobre este caso a medida que esté disponible y Shannon está dispuesta a aceptar toda la responsabilidad por sus acciones."
