'Bed Intruder' Star Antoine Dodson Arrested

By Christine Fenno Posted Apr 23rd 2011 01:12PM

In the early morning hours Saturday, original 'Bed Intruder' star Antoine Dodson was arrested.

Police in Huntsville, Ala., booked the viral video star on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana; he was in custody a short time, according to TMZ, and released.

Dodson, 24, was charged with other misdemeanors as well: Speeding, failing to appear twice on a traffic charge and failing to have liability insurance.

When a reporter first put him on the air during a local news broadcast in 2010, Dodson said he'd witnessed an attempted sexual assault on his sister -- and he adamantly warned viewers 'Hide your kids, hide your wife' from the attacker. A viral sensation was born.

The drug-related arrest marks a setback for Dodson, who rocketed to fame after his initial TV clip inspired an Auto-tune song from the Gregory Brothers. The Chicago native then appeared on the 'Today' show, endorsed a mobile app and announced plans to shoot a reality TV pilot.

At the time he was discovered on the local news, Dodson was residing in Alabama housing projects and welcomed his nearly instant celebrity status: "This could be an opportunity for our family to get out of the 'hood," he recalls telling his sister, as quoted in an NPR report.

OMG! I thought that was a picture of Beyondsay! Before the skin bleach! No wonder she has her wig line!

Really, you must be jealous... The lighter skin hue is from the media... She has no need to lighten her skin. She is already just beautiful in her own skin...

Antoine looks like he belongs in tranny porn video called Bed Intruder based on posted photo. Is there more to Dodson story we didn't originally know?

Lohan, Hilton, Sheen... You are a short sighted person aren't you Wong? Most of those arrested in the field of entertainment are from the Major race... Haven't you been keeping up with the gossip? Now, if you are talking about car jacking etc... Well...
