Wahler was out at the Ocean Avenue Brewery in Laguna Beach when he got into an altercation with the bouncer. An officer with the Laguna Beach police explained the incident to RadarOnline.com: “We went there on a report of a guy fighting with the bouncers. We found Jason Wahler intoxicated on the street. The bouncer said that Wahler tried to exit the bar with a drink in his hand and the bouncer told him he could not do it. Wahler responded by shoving one of the bouncers. Somehow he got back into the bar a few minutes later. The bouncers again told him to leave the bar. Wahler took off his shoes and he threw it in the direction of the bouncers, but hit some patrons instead. He also punched one of the bouncers in the eye. They ejected him from the bar again.” The police then arrested Wahler for public intoxication and battery.
Wahler was released on Tuesday morning “after he slept off his intoxication.”
This isn’t Wahler’s first run-in with the law. His addictions became public following a brief stint on MTV’s The Hills, in which he co-starred alongside then girlfriend Lauren Conrad. Following his departure from the show, Wahler was arrested twice for various charges including underage drinking and assault. He spent time in jail and eventually went to rehab.
Last month, RadarOnline.com reported exclusively that Wahler had been fired from the film Five Good Years for “personal problems.” According to a source close to the film, Jason was still battling demons.
“Jason was let go from the project because of his behavior,” a well placed source close to the film told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Jason was given a very good opportunity to change his image, but because of his personal problems, it just didn’t work out.”
At the time of his current arrest, Wahler still had 11 days left on his probation stemming from a drunken, racist, homophobic, violent tirade back in 2007.
