Many reality TV stars had already crossed the threshold of the law just like The Simple Life’s Paris Hilton and Laguna Beach’s Jason Wahler. Surprisingly, another TV icon had joined the bandwagon and he came in the form of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition host Ty Pennington.
On Saturday, May 5, Pennington was arrested at 12:35 am in Los Angeles and was charged with a misdemeanor for driving under the influence. According to reports, Pennington had an blood alcohol level of .14, which was over the legal limit of .08 in California. In less than three hours, he was released over a bail amounting to $5,000.

But that doesn't mean I watch it.
