Laguna Beach and The Hills star Jason Wahler has been sentenced to 60 days in jail for punching a city worker and a tow truck driver during an altercation last fall.
Wahler, 20, and model Kristin DeLuca, 25, were arrested in September 2006 after the vehicle they were traveling in got stuck behind a tow truck that was attempting to move an illegally parked car on Wilshire Boulevard.
The couple jumped out of their car and an argument ensued in which Wahler punched one of the tow truck drivers as well as the city worker. DeLuca kicked the tow truck operator and spit in his face.
Wahler's blood alcohol level was .22 percent at the time of his arrest.
Wahler pleaded no contest to one count of battery. He was sentenced to two months in jail, and was ordered to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
He will also have to attend a one-day program at the Museum of Tolerance for uttering racial slurs during the incident, authorities said. (Wahler is white. Two of the victims are African-American.)
In a separate incident, Wahler was arrested late Friday in Greenville, N.C., for underage drinking and resisting a public officer during a raid at a local nightclub. He was released on $1,000 bond several hours later.
