Shayne Lamas Arrested For DUI

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 15th 2009 11:01AM

Shayne Lamas was taken into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol... according to the TV personality herself. The 'Leave it to Lamas' star 'fessed up to her show's network, telling E! in a statement: "Early Saturday morning, after consuming one drink, I willingly drove through a mandatory check point on my way home with complete confidence of passing. However, the breathalyzer indicated that I was over the legal limit of blood alcohol content and was arrested onsite."

Lamas, 24, said, "I take full responsibility for my lack of judgment. I have always strived to be a role model for my friends, family and fans and have never nor will ever condone drinking and driving. I apologize for all those I have disappointed, including myself."

The reality star was arrested shortly after 1am Saturday, and was released later that morning. Lamas is due in court Dec. 9 for the misdemeanor charge.
