"Real World" Arrest No. 5
It's about time someone on the Real World got arrested. It's been at least six months since one of MTV's seven strangers spent the night in lockup. Too long.
This time around the offender was Adam King, currently starring in the show's 13th installment, Real World Paris. King was busted last week in Statesboro, Georgia, for drunken and disorderly conduct.
The mop top reportedly flagged down a police cruiser in the wee hours of the morning, August 18, and then took off running when cops stopped the car. King was nabbed a couple of minutes later and charges with being a pedestrian under the influence and loitering/prowling, both misdemeanors. He was released on bail later that morning.
The 24-year-old, who lives in Beverly Hills, was allegedly visiting his Real World housemate Clyde "Ace" Amerson, a Statesboro native. No word if Adam was boozing at one of the two clubs Ace manages.
Meanwhile, King isn't the only Paris alum to pay a visit to Ace. E! Online's TV columnist Kristin Veitch recently reported that fellow Paris roommate Mallory spent an entire month with the Georgia Southern University student, "snuggling, kissing and looking generally lovey-dovey."
But back to the bad boys.
King has joined a not-so-exclusive club of Real World contestants with rap sheets (throw sibling production Road Rules into the mix and the list gets even longer).
A quick recap:

In February, Las Vegas veteran Alton Williams was hauled off to the slammer for taking a swing at a bar manager during a charity event in North Carolina.
Fellow Sin City housemate Frank Roessler was already on probation when he appeared on the series' twelfth installment. He was convicted of criminal mischief in March 2001 after trashing two frat houses at Bucknell University, where he was a student.
Then there was troubled Seattle vet Stephen Williams, who was in for a double dose of trouble when he was arrested for stealing a Toyota Camry last March. Cops found he had skipped out on an earlier court date based on a 2001 arrest for turning tricks in Hollywood. Williams pleaded guilty to car theft and spent 30 days in the Los Angeles Men's Central Jail.
Finally, there's the granddaddy of them all, San Francisco's Puck. Two years after his 1994 antics got him booted from the MTV house, David Edward Rainey (his real name) was arrested for bashing his live-in girlfriend's head into a wall. Puck pleaded guilty to a count of corporal injury and spent eight months cooling his heels in jail in 1999.
