Deadliest Catch star Jake Harris,24, was arrested last night on suspicion of DUI, Hit & Run and Driving While License Suspended.  He is currently sitting in the King County jail in Seattle where he was booked Thursday night just before midnight.   

It’s been a bad year for Deadliest Catch’s Harris family.  Captain Phil Harris, 53, died of complications from a stroke earlier this month in an Alaskan hopital. 

People magazine spoke with the Washington State Patrol regarding the incident.

“Mr. Harris was spotted driving a BMW 3 Series erratically Thursday evening by a citizen in Shoreline, Wa. We were able to locate his vehicle by aircraft, and he was pulled over in the Seattle area. The car was registered to his father,” says Washington State Patrol spokesman Dan McDonald.

“He failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a toxicological test,” McDonald added. “After further investigation, it was found that he was involved in a hit and run with another occupied vehicle earlier in the evening. He had rear-ended another car.”
