TAMPA, Fla. - Real estate millionaire Chris Shelton, a contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice," was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge.
Shelton, 22, one of six remaining contestants competing for a job with Donald Trump, was taken into custody early Sunday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. He was released after posting $250 bail.
A tribal police officer said he heard a noisy Shelton in the hotel lobby and asked him twice to calm down before arresting him, said Seminole police spokesman Gary Bitner.
"He was loud and he just wouldn't calm down," Bitner said.
Shelton was peeved over a $20 cover charge for the hotel bar. Shelton "was at the lobby causing a scene," the police report said. "There were several patrons in the area who were visibly shaken by his actions. After several attempts to calm Shelton, he continued to yell and curse, refusing to calm down and stop causing a scene."
Shelton and some friends were staying at the hotel and celebrating his continued success on "The Apprentice," Bitner said.
"We don't really have any comment," NBC spokesman Jim Dowd said. "This is clearly a private matter with Chris." All but the final episode has been taped, and it isn't known if Shelton makes it that far.
He went off his chew tabaccy, a move I cheered but it seems he really needs it!
This guy Chris was always rather short-tempered on the show. A DOC charge doesn't surprise me.
$20 cover charge? Whadda scam...
BTW: I just want to say, I hate Trump. He was against the war in Iraq and Bush because the rebuilding of Iraq drove up the cost of construction supplies here in the USA. What a putz.
...and then there were five...
Just goes to show that money doesn't necessarily buy class.
I don't watch TV, so obviously I haven't followed this show, but I'm curious....this fellow is a "real estate millionaire" at 22? How did that happen? Did he inherit a family business?
Trump was against the war but I heard him say that he did vote for President Bush. He said Bush's policies were better than Kerry's.
Uhhh...here's an idea.
Don't go.
Te-RAY-suh proved that multiple times last year.
You are correct about Trumps position in the election. He specifically mentioned Bush's tax policy as a reason to support Bush

Trump would have voted for Hitler if meant he would pay fewer taxes.
Maybe he was justified in his anger. Maybe not. Let's see the security tape and hear from witnesses. If he was playing DYKWIA or being a jerk, he deserves what he got. Sometimes, though, it's the complaining establishment that's the real bully.
"Do you know who I am?"
This guy is chump. How he made it out of jail as long as he has amazes me.
That guy has friends?
interesting
