Jake Harris, a cast member on reality show “Deadliest Catch,” made some progress in solving some of his legal problems on Friday.

Harris was able to convince a judge to give him his license back, reports TMZ. In February Jake was arrested on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license

A judge however dismissed the DUI and hit-and-run charges after a lack of evidence. His license was then automatically reinstated.

Harris needs to be back in court June 3rd to deal with the remaining charges.

Does 16 year old Justin Bieber now have a driver’s license? We aren’t quite sure but TMZ has confirmed the Canadian pop singer was at a DMV office in Atlanta yesterday.

Sources tell TMZ that Bieber passed straight by the line with his Mom and he also received a small photo session at the counter. Rumor has it the DMV rep let Bieber take multiple pictures until they snapped one he liked.

Ah the perks of being young, rich and famous.

Who Fought The Law? Fall Out Boy, Juelz Santana, Travis Barker, Gerard Butler

It’s been a busy news day for celebrity crime. Between the ongoing developments in both the Michael Jackson and Chris Brown cases, a few other notables managed to run into trouble today.

First off, Juelz Santana (most famous for “There It Go (The Whistle Song)”) was arrested for terroristic threats and posession of a weapon, according to MTV.com. Santana (whose real name is Laron James) was involved in an altercation with the mother of his son on Tuesday in New Jersey, when he threatened to harm her and wielded a kitchen knife as his weapon of choice, according to police. His rep is disputing the threat charges and said it was the neighbor’s, not Santana’s baby’s mama that called police. Santana was released later that day after posting a $5,000 bond but has not yet released a statement.

Next up: Patrick Stump, the voice of Fall Out Boy. (Well, technically, the singer. Everyone knows Wentz is the one in charge.) Stump was busted for driving without a valid driver’s license in Beverley Hills and hauled to the big house where he was detained four hours then released on $15,000 bail. He is only licensed to drive in Illinois. If Stump is charged with a misdemeanor, he could face six months in prison and/or pay $1,000 bail. In a statement to MTV, Stump agreed “ignorance of the law isn’t innocence. . . .But man, is my mom going to be pissed.” And to make matters worse, his awfully unflattering mug shot is circulating the web like wildfire.

In other pop-punk news, Travis Barker is embroiled in a very public dispute with Shanna Moakler, his ex-wife and mother of his two children, according to PerezHilton.com. Turns out when he was dropping the kids of at Moakler’s parents’ house in Rhode Island, a bit of a hissy fit erupted on both sides. Barker refused to leave when Moakler refused to let his nanny stay with the kids, so Moakler lost it and called the cops. Shortly after, Barker updated his Twitter saying the car of alleged child molester and alleged uncle of Moakler, Rick Sinnott, was parked at the house hence his reluctance to leave the kids there. Eventually, the cops disclosed Sinnott was not in the house so Barker left. There have been rumours Moakler asked police about a restraining order.

Compared to the rest of the criminals out there today, Gerard Butler is looking like a puppy dog. (Pun intended.) Earlier today, Butler was accused of being on one vicious side of a dog fight. Seriously. Butler was taking a break from the set of “The Bounty in Long Island” to take his pug Lolita for a walk. According to PerezHilton.com, Lolita was approached by a large Greyhound belonging to an elderly Queens couple and Butler was not happy. The couple are claiming Butler got rough with the dog, shoving its head into a fence and yelling at the couple to have it put down. On the other hand, Butler’s manager is saying he was very tame considering the large dog actually took a bite out of Lolita. At the end of it all, Butler ended up spending four hours in a local veterinarian’s office and reportedly gave $3,000 to another family there to cover their vet bills. Police haven’t released any conclusive details yet.

Shia LaBeouf Loses Driving License

Actor Shia LaBeouf had his license suspended on Saturday due to his refusal to take a Breathalyzer test when he was busted on suspicion of driving under the influence after a July car crash, a DMV official said to E! News.

“It was suspended for refusing a chemical test,” said the official, who explained to E! News that although LaBeouf was cleared of DUI charges after investigators determined the accident was caused by the other driver, the suspension was “automatic.”

The young actor has required two surgeries due to a crushed hand after his rollover crash on July 27. The accident was caused after a driver ran a red light, crashing into LaBeouf’s car.

According to California law, drivers who refuse to take a breath, blood or urine test for a suspected DUI can have their license suspended for up to one year.
