U guys know him right?
The reality star released a statement to ABC
News, saying, "To all my family, friends, fans and
supporters, please know that I want to share and
explain to you what happened today and I look
forward to doing so at a later date. I appreciate
your support and understanding as we handle
things privately as a family."
Valastro was arrested early Thursday morning
and appeared in court later that afternoon, for
allegedly driving while intoxicated.
The reality TV star, who has not yet entered a
plea, was offered a deal that would include a 90-
day driver's license suspension and a $300 fine.
According to the prosecutor, Valastro told cops
during his arrest, "I had a couple drinks. You
can't arrest me! I'm the Cake Boss."
The
prosecutor also said that Valestro insisted
several times, "I'm a good guy." He added: "Can
you just put me in a cab? I don’t have to be
arrested, I’m not a bad guy."
Valastro, 42, was pulled over around 1 a.m. on
Thursday on Tenth Avenue on New York City's
West Side. After failing a field sobriety test, he
was arrested in his 2014 yellow Corvette early
today for allegedly driving while intoxicated.
The reality star, who took over the family
business in 1994 after the death of his father
Buddy Sr., made a splash in 2009 when "Cake
Boss" premiered on The Learning Channel. The
show follows Valastro and his business Carlo's
Bakery, located in New Jersey.
With the success of the show, Valastro has gone
on to star in "Kitchen Boss" and "The Next Great
Baker," both on TLC.
Valastro is due back in court on Jan. 6.
