LAGUNA BEACH'S JESSICA SMITH'S DUI

TV actress Jessica Smith found herself in a county lockup this week after an arrest for driving under the influence on a California freeway. The 19-year-old former star of "Laguna Beach" was arrested Monday near Laguna, Calif., on a felony DUI charge by the California Highway Patrol and booked into the Orange County jail, People magazine reported Tuesday. Smith allegedly was driving a Volkswagen with one other person inside when the car rear-ended another car. According to a highway patrol statement, the accident was due to Smith's "level of intoxication, unsafe speed and wet roadway conditions," the magazine said. Smith was not hurt but her passenger and the driver of the second car suffered minor injuries.

MTV STAR JASON WAHLER SENT TO JAIL

Jason Wahler was sentenced to two months in jail for punching a city worker and tow truck driver during an altercation last year. Wahler, 20, star of MTV's "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," was also ordered to attend a one-day program at the Museum of Tolerance for uttering racial slurs during the September incident, authorities said. Wahler is white. Two of the victims are black, authorities said. According to prosecutors, Wahler was traveling in a car with friends when their vehicle was blocked by a tow truck attempting to move an illegally parked car. Wahler jumped out of his vehicle and began yelling at the city worker and one of two tow truck drivers. Wahler, whose blood alcohol level was .22 percent at the time, then punched one tow operator, as well as the city worker, authorities said. One of Wahler's companions also kicked the tow operator and spit in his face, the City Attorney's office said Tuesday. Wahler pleaded no contest to one count of battery. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, and was ordered to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Wahler was arrested late Friday in Greenville, N.C., for underage drinking and resisting a public officer during a raid against a local nightclub. He was released on $1,000 bond several hours later.
