Artie busted for DUI

The Star-Ledger details:

TOMS RIVER -- Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange was charged with driving under the influence after he crashed his car into another vehicle in Toms River this afternoon.

Lange, 41, was driving a leased 2009 silver Nissan Sentra on Silver Bay Road around 1:30 p.m. when he rear-ended a car stopped to make a left turn onto Brand Road while he intended to proceed straight, said Toms River police Capt. Steven Henry.

The second car, a silver 2004 Pontiac Grand Am, was occupied by two 18-year-old males from Toms River, Henry said. Both vehicles sustained minor damage but no one was injured, he said.

At the scene, the investigating officer determined Lange appeared to be under the influence, Henry said, noting that police could not immediately determine whether there was alcohol or drugs allegedly involved.

Lange, who lives in Roseland, was arrested and charged with careless driving and driving under the influence, Henry said.

He said Lange was released at 4:45 p.m. but the Nissan would be impounded for 24 hours.

Henry did not know why Lange, who was alone in the car, was in Toms River but said he is known to have friends who live in the township.

He said Investigating Officer Brian Jarka recognized the comedian, who Henry said acted like a "complete gentleman" and was "very cooperative" with authorities.

Lange is scheduled to appear Saturday night at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library for a discussion and signing of his book, ``Too Fat To Fish,'' to benefit the library.

Well, the Sentra does have a 5 star rating for crash safety.

Maybe he anticipated his driving drunk?!

I just finished the paperback version of his book the other day. It's interesting as hell. The guy is messed up even way more than you can guess from listening to the Stern show.

awmllc2000 · Jul 11, 2009

The best part of the Stern show!

Did anyone see Artie Lange on the joe buck show? That was freaking hilarious the way he treated Joe buck, and the look on buck's face was priceless

I bought his book from Barnes & Nobles. ''Too Fat to Fish.'' He truthfully is a piece of shit imo and after reading his book I returned it to the store, to make sure he didn't get any of my money. Decent book too.
