MTV star held in fight

Jason Wahler, former star of the reality television series “Laguna Beach: The Real OC,” was arrested outside a Laguna Beach bar about 10 p.m. July 31 after allegedly hurling his shoes and fists at bouncers seeking to eject him from the bar, according to police.

Wahler, 22, who is on probation from a highly publicized 2007 incident in Washington involving an assault with racial slurs, was held overnight at the city jail to sober up and then released on his own recognizance, according to Laguna Beach Police Lt. Jason Kravetz.

“We were called to the Marine Room on the report of a man fighting with the bouncers,” Kravetz said. “We arrived and found Wahler out front. The bouncers told us he was inside the bar and tried to exit with a drink in his hand. When they stopped him, [they said] he responded by shoving one of them. They kicked him out of the bar, but unbeknownst to them, he got back inside.”

When told to leave a second time, Wahler allegedly removed his shoes and threw them at the bouncers, hitting some patrons instead. A bouncer also alleged Wahler punched him in the eye. He was again ordered out of the bar, and police were summoned.

Police arrested Wahler on suspicion of public intoxication, and a bouncer placed him under citizen’s arrest in the battery accusation.

Wahler, a Laguna Beach resident, is due to appear in court on the charges in a month, Kravetz said.
