WASHINGTON COUNTY - A star from the reality television series "Little People, Big World," which is filmed locally, faces a charge of driving under the influence of intoxicants.
Matthew Roloff, 45, was also cited for refusing a breath test and failure to drive within a lane for an incident that happened just before midnight on June 19.
In a statement released Tuesday, Roloff said: "I have entered a plea of innocent. I respect the judicial process, and, in fairness to the court, I will not comment further on this case until it is resolved. "
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, a deputy saw a white van failing to stay in its travel lane as it was headed west on Northwest West Union Road near Cornelius Pass Road.
After being pulled over, police say Roloff failed a field sobriety test and they arrested him. He was taken to the Washington County jail, where he was cited and then released.
The Roloff family, which is made up of little and average-sized people, has gained much media attention as the stars of "Little People, Big World," which documents their lives. The family runs a farm north of Hillsboro.
