Nick Carter was placed under arrest on Wednesday night.
According to an eyewitness in Key West, per TMZ, police took the former Backstreet Boys member into custody at the Hog’s Breath Saloon, a rather famous drinking establishment in the area.
There are few available details at the moment, but Carter was allegedly at the center of some kind of scuffle.
The arresting charge is simply listed as “touch or strike,” a misdemeanor battery.
Carter’s occupation was also officially listed as “none,” which is a bit depressing.
The ex-artist, who is expecting a baby with his wife, is a native of Florida.
However, his hometown of Ruskin is several hours away from the vacation hot spot of Key West.
He was recently back in the news when he competed on Dancing with the Stars Season 21 last fall, coming in second with partner Sharna Burgess. Not shabby.
This is unfortunately Carter’s third arrest, following a nightclub incident in 2002 and a DUI bust in 2005.
Guess we’ll need to update the following photo gallery, huh?
You’re about to be a father for the fist time, Nick. It may be time to turn your life around for good.
