Jason Wahler Arrested For Sixth Time

The Hills's Jason Wahler is facing almost certain jail time following a drunk driving arrest in Newport Beach, Calif., Friday evening.

Wahler, 23, was taken into custody at 10:54 p.m. for DUI while driving a 2008 Chevy Tahoe, Newport Beach Sgt. Evan Sailor confirms to PEOPLE. He was released on his own recognizance hours later.

Last week, video surfaced online of Wahler being cuffed by Mexican police in Cabo San Lucas March 11 after he allegedly got into a fight at a nightclub.

This is at least the sixth drinking-related arrest for Wahler in recent years.

In a 2007 interview with PEOPLE, Wahler admits: "I did try drugs, but it was never my thing. It was alcohol, for sure. It would take me about 10 drinks before that other side came out. It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Last year, Wahler, who once dated Lauren Conrad, saw his engagement to college tennis player Katja Decker-Sadowski called off.

The Hills' Jason Wahler Sent to Jail

Lauren Conrad's ex boyfriend Jason Wahler is currently being held in a jail in Washington state, Usmagazine.com has confirmed. "Yes, he's in our facility," an official at the Yakima County Jail -- located about 150 miles outside of Seattle -- tells Us.

RadarOnline.com first reported that Wahler, 22, was booked on charges of assault and minor drinking in Seattle on Sept. 25. He was transferred to Yakima County Jail four days later.

"He will serve 120 days in jail but could get out after 80 days for good behavior," an official told RadarOnline.com. This isn't the first time Wahler has gotten in trouble with the law.

In 2008, a judge ordered him to rehab after he punched a tow truck driver in the face and used racial slurs him. He spent 18 days in jail in 2007 after getting arrested on charges of assault for fighting in the lobby of a Seattle Marriott hotel.

That same year, he was picked up by police twice: once in Greenville, N.C. in 2007 for underage drinking and resisting arrest, and another time in NYC for resisting arrest and bribery.

Conrad famously refused an internship in Paris because she wanted to stay close to Wahler while they were dating. The two also reportedly filmed a sex tape together, rumors of which were leaked by Spencer Pratt -- ending the friendship between Conrad and Heidi Montag. Conrad denies the sex tape exists.
