Jake Harris of the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” reality TV series was charged with driving under the influence or DUI and taken into custody.

Police on the other hand said that Jake Harris failed the Breathalyzer test because he refused to even take it. To make matters worse, Jake Harris of the cable show “Deadliest Catch” was driving under a suspended license. However, he was only charged under suspicion of driving while drunk on February 18, 2010.

Getting arrested on suspicion of driving drunk is not Jake Harris’ only problem at the moment with the police. A car that has been identified as matching Jake Harris’ vehicle was involved that same night in a hit and run accident.
The BMW 3 Series matching the description of the hit and run vehicle was stopped by State Police. They noticed that the smell of alcohol came from Jake Harris’ breath when he spoke. He failed the sobriety test and refused the Breathalyzer test plus he was driving without a license.
