Former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter reportedly spent time in jail in the Florida Keys.
TMZ and E News are reporting authorities arrested Carter at the Hog’s Breath Saloon in Key West.
According to the Monroe County Detention Center, the 35-year-old, who recently appeared on Dancing With the Stars, was taken into custody on Wednesday night. The Key West Police report also revealed that the boy bander was arrested for one misdemeanor count of battery, touch or strike at 8:13 p.m.; however, no other details have been released, although it seems it was simply a drunken encounter with another patron that resulted in only Carter’s arrest.
The news is very surprising as Carter seemed to be doing very well after acknowledging his struggles with both drug and alcohol abuse and became sober years ago; however, it is important to note no reports have confirmed Carter was drunk at the time of his arrest.
Aside from reaching the finals and coming as runner-up in Dancing With the Stars, Carter also announced on the show he and his wife Lauren Kitt are expecting their fist child together, and later revealed they are expecting a baby boy.
