Extreme Makeover host and carpenter Ty Pennington was arrested this weekend for alleged drunk driving charge in Los Angeles. Apparently this carpenter got hammered in more ways than one! He was booked at the county jail on a misdemeanor and released at 2:50 a.m. on $5,000 bail.

“I made an error in judgment…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.”

His court date is set for June 4th. It’s good to see a celebrity taking ownership of their mistakes rather than making excuses for them. Take notes Paris!
