Ty Pennington Arrested On Alleged DUI

“Extreme Home Makeover” host Ty Pennington has become the latest celebrity arrested by police for alleged drunk driving.

According to Pennington’s booking sheet, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stopped the star on Cinco De Mayo at 12:35 AM. An hour later, Pennington was booked at the LAPD’s Pacific Division.

A short while later, the star, whose show renovates the homes of needy Americans, was released on $5,000 bail. He has been ordered to face a judge at the LA Municipal Court on June 4.

Pennington follows a host of stars who have been arrested in recent months on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol including rapper Eve, Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.

Pennington admitted remorse over the incident in a statement released to Access Hollywood.

“I made an error in judgment,” he said in the statement. “We all make mistakes, however this is about accountability. Under no circumstances should anyone consume alcohol while driving. I could have jeopardized the lives of others and I am grateful there was no accident or harm done to anyone. This was my wake-up call. I also want to apologize to my fans, ABC Television and my design team for my lapse in judgment and the embarrassment I have caused.”
