Jason Wahler Out and About
Jason Wahler's slate is looking clean-ish.
The Laguna Beach alum was released from a Seattle jail on Tuesday after serving 20 days of a 30-day sentence stemming his arrest for drunkenly roughing up a hotel security guard in April, his publicist, Siri Garber, confirmed to E! Online.
The Seattle City Attorney's Office said when Wahler checked into jail that he could get out early due to good behavior (rather than overcrowding, as it probably would have gone in a Los Angeles County facility).
"He's free," Garber said. "And he's doing very well."
Wahler, who spent two months in rehab earlier this year following no fewer than four arrests on a variety of booze-fueled charges, narrowly avoided 60 days behind bars in L.A. when a sympathetic judge determined that he needed to quit drinking more than anything else.
The 20-year-old reality-TV player couldn't avoid paying the piper in Seattle, however, after being charged with assault, criminal trespass and underage drinking for punching a security guard at the Waterfront Marriott Hotel on Apr. 8. when the guard tried to break up a fight between the Hills bad-boy and two other young men.
According to authorities, Wahler then left the hotel for a short time but was eventually discovered by police passed out in a third-floor hallway.
But now, according to myriad accounts, including his own, Wahler is back on the straight and narrow.
After completing his stint at an in-house treatment facility and fulfilling his court-ordered community service and anger management counseling, he continues to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings with the intention of putting this particularly messy year behind him.
Meanwhile, he's on probation in L.A. until May 2010, so it would behoove him to keep his nose clean.
A small-screen star with big-screen aspirations, Wahler is currently shooting the horror movie 10,000 Doors, and he told Splash News upon his release that he's signed on for a new reality show, Teen Savers, in which he'll mentor at-risk youth who are attempting to get their lives back in order, while no doubt imparting some been-there, done-that wisdom along the way.
