WASHINGTON COUNTY, Oregon - Matthew Roloff, the well-known farming father on TLC’s “Little People Big World,” was arrested last month on allegations of DUI.

Roloff was driving a white, 2005 Chevrolet van on West Union Road in Washington County, when officers spotted the vehicle, which appeared unable to stay within its own lane. Sheriffs pulled over the vehicle and identified the driver as the 45-year-old Roloff.

Authorities report Roloff allegedly failed the field sobriety test. He was taken to the Washington County jail where he was cited for a DUI. Sherriff's Department officials confirm Roloff refused to take a breath test.

After being cited, Roloff was later released.

Roloff was born with diastrophic dysplasia. His wife and one of his sons, Zach, both have achondroplasia. The show details how the family, which has three children of normal size, face challenges in the world.

Prior to Roloff’s involvement in the TLC show, he took many parts in Hollywood including starring as an Ewok in “Ewoks: The Battle For Endor.”

My mom told me about this and I didn't believe her.

Well, I guess it's true!

I read that Matt Roloff planned to plead not guilty and go to court over this DUI.

Also, 'Little People Big World' has been renewed for another season but I can't find out the premiere date.

Does anyone have additional info????
