Chris is Arrested AND THAT IS A FACT!

crazy_chrisThree nights ago on The Apprentice, fledgling corporate powerhouse Chris informed us that he was putting the kibotch on his famed temper. We all knew it wouldn’t last very long, and thankfully, a well-timed arrest early this morning reestablished his reputation as reality TV’s reigning hothead maniac. Yes, Chris finally landed behind bars in Tampa Bay today after an altercation at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Apparently he refused to pay a bar cover, and, you guessed it, he became loud, irritable, and scary.

According to Tampa Bay Online, Chris refused to cough up a $20 cover because he had just spent $2,000 on his room. That, and he had left his wallet at Best Buy again. Anyway, Chris predictably created chaos when his pseudo-celebrity stature was denied entrance to this pricey club, and before long, the cops arrived to diffuse the scene. However, taming the beast is no easy task. The police allegedly asked Chris to calm down many times, but he continued to yell and curse, ultimately resulting in a nifty “disorderly conduct” arrest. Rumor has it Chris tried to reason with a cop by shouting, “SIR, I AM NOT BEING UNREASONABLE! I AM JUST AGGRESSIVE AND FULL OF ENERGY! I AM NOT ANGRY! ARGH!!!!” Chris then bashed the cop’s head into a nearby slot machine and spat on his face. No word on whether or not a taser was implemented.

He’s quoted in Tampa Bay Online as saying “It’s so ludicrous. The hotel handled the situation very poorly from top to bottom.” He then added, “Probably some dumb broad in charge.”

Presently, Chris is out and about, having posted a $250 bail earlier today. So women and children of Tampa Bay, we advice you to get inside and lock the front door. If you see a short, round, screaming man who doesn’t appear to be homeless, be sure to alert the proper authorities: TVgasm.

Mugshot after the jump…

Hey Lorlene. Bring the pickup ’round front. Poppa’s done got himself in jail again. Dang.

    I was wondering when TVGasm was going to report on this story. MYL’s prediction “Chris is a tool. Sadly not in a fun to watch Omarosa kinda way, but in a rich white trash guy who will be seen on COPS one day kinda way.” was enough to make me start laughing when I found out the news.

    Ahh there was the news report I was looking for.

    I guess Angie in her “I’m so surprised I got fired!” news article that was going aronud got him jealous. So he of course does this to get media coverage.

    Pretty sneaky Chris! But not really surprising.

    BTW, look at erin’s redesigned website. Has “FIRED” and Fabulous on it. Heh.

    It’s official, there’s no way he’s one of the top 2….as if he would have EVER gotten that far.

    Betsy, if you’re an Amazing Race fan, then the proper wording is “I kelly tvgasm.”

    In any event, this arrest isn’t surprising at all. What’s surprising is that someone with his irrational, hair-trigger temper and lunacy hasn’t been arrested before. But maybe in the past the police were persuaded to leave him be when he informed them that “I SPEAK FACTS! YOU DO NOT SPEAK FACTS BUT I SPEAK FACTS!”

    What I don’t understand is why the police are so hesitant to use the Taser…or mace. Mace would have been good.

    “and on another breaking news story it has just been announced that madeyoulaugh will be replacing Sylvia Browne as the new resident psychic on the Montel Williams Show”

    I would’ve loved it if they’d used the mace that you swab on with Q-tips under the eyes.

    Arrested at the Hard Rock in Florida? What’s next, beaten by Federalis at Cabo Wabo?

    I dont know why John wanted his birthday party there, that casino isnt very good. The only people who go there are people over the age of 108 years old.

    Haha, well even if Chris did make it into the final two, you can bet that Trump wont hire him after this happened.
