Adema’s DeRoo Arrested
We weren’t kidding with that “long arm…” remark. A bench warrant was issued for DeRoo in his hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., in June for violating the terms of his probation for a drunk driving arrest.
But the law didn’t catch up with the alleged lawbreaker until Jan. 29 when police in Hartford, Conn., arrested him right at an Adema show at the town’s Webster Theatre, reports The Bakersfield California.
DeRoo’s troubles began when he was arrested in three years ago in Bakersfield following an automobile accident when he showed several signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and the unmistakable aroma of consumed alcohol on his breath, according to the Californian. He eventually pleaded no contest to “DUI causing injury” and was sentenced to 45 days in jail and three years probation.
After his Jan. 29 arrest, DeRoo was charged with being a fugitive from justice and held on $1 million bail, according to the Hartford Courant, which says he will be extradited to California.
