Artie Lange, Howard Stern Show personality and stand up comedian, is once again in trouble.
Comedian and radio personality Artie Lange has been charged with driving under the influence of an intoxicant and careless driving after a minor traffic accident in central New Jersey.
Toms River police say Lange’s 2009 Nissan struck the rear of another vehicle around 1:30 p.m. Friday. Police say no one was injured and both vehicles had only minor damage.
Police say the responding officers’ observations led to the 41-year-old Lange, of Roseland, being charged. He was taken to police headquarters for processing.
Lange’s travails with substance abuse have been well documented on the Stern show and in his autobiography “Too Fat To Fish,” which was released in 2008. Lange has struggled with alcohol, cocaine and heroin. The Stern show has been on vacation for two weeks.
He was issued summonses and released pending a municipal court appearance on July 16. A police spokesman did not know if Lange had retained a lawyer.
Lange is a “Howard Stern Show” regular and recently wrote a best-selling book, “Too Fat to Fish.”
