Little people, big drinks?
We're not sure why the press release just came across now, but the Washington County Sheriff's Office tells us that Matthew Roloff, the dad from TLC's "Little People, Big World" was arrested for driving under the influence last month.
Obligatory celebrity mug shot, soon to be featured on The Smoking Gun and TMZ, I'm sure:
Roloff got pulled over on West Union near Cornelius Pass just before midnight on June 19th. He reportedly refused a Breathalyzer, was cited for DUII and released.
We called the Roloff family for comment tonight, but couldn't get through to them.
The Roloffs were in the news last fall when 9-year-old Jason was injured by a pumpkin catapult.
Full press release from WCSO after the jump.
