TLC 'Cake Boss' Cast: Buddy Valastro Charged With DWI in New York City After Swerving in 2014 Yellow Convertible
It looks like the "Cake Boss" has gotten himself in trouble with the law.
According to a spokesperson for the New York Police Department, Buddy Valastro, the star of TLC's reality series "Cake Boss," was arrested early Thursday morning in New York City and charged with drunken driving, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Valastro, the owner of Carlo's Bakery, was reportedly charged with a DWI after NYPD officers spotted the reality TV star driving erratically on 10th Avenue in lower Manhattan at around 1 a.m. The officers say they also observed the 37-year-old baker swerving through traffic in a yellow 2014 Corvette while traveling north between 20th street and 32nd street.
After they pulled Valastro over, it was apparent that he did not have a good balance, his face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot, an NYPD spokesperson said. He then failed a Breathalyzer test before he was taken into custody, reports The Associated Press.
Known for baking elaborate and large cakes on the show, as of Thursday, Valastro is currently awaiting arraignment at Manhattan criminal court.
The corporate headquarters of Valastro's bakery is located in in Hoboken, New Jersey. He also runs bakeries in other parts of the state, Times Square in New York City and Las Vegas' Venetian Hotel.
Valastro isn't the only New Jersey reality star who's found trouble with the law recently.
Last month, "Jersey Shore" alum Mike Sorrentino pleaded not guilty against charges of tax fraud on $8.9 million in earned revenue. The 32-year-old reality star, also known as "The Situation," and his brother Marc were named in a seven-count indictment for filing false tax returns in 2010, 2011 and 2012 on Sept. 25.
"According to the indictment, Michael and Marc Sorrentino filed false tax returns that incorrectly reported millions made from promotions and appearances," U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman told Us Weekly in a statement. "The brothers allegedly also claimed costly clothes and cars as business expenses and funneled company money into personal accounts. The law is absolutely clear: telling the truth to the IRS is not optional."
The judge scheduled the New Jersey-based star to appear in court on Dec. 2 for the start of his trial.
