What a surprise...
Apprentice contestant Chris Shelton was arrested in Tampa Florida on disorderly conduct charges.
For those of you who have been following the show you'll know Chris as the tobacco-chewing asshole who gets in everyone's face, and to whom Trump has called on more than one occasion in the board room "a loose cannon" who can't control his temper.
Somehow Chris has managed to avoid getting fired thus far despite his temper and attitude problems and general instability and unreliability.
However I think in light of this little gem we can safely assume that he doesn't go much further in the competition - according to the article, the thing that set him off on this latest meltdown was a $20 cover charge for the hotel bar. While I don't put a whole lot of stock in Trump's "interview" methodology (it just makes for some good entertainment but that's about it) I'd be totally disappointed if such behaviour, as witnessed week after week ON CAMERA, was left unchecked and ignored right up to the final episode. Come on Trump - get a clue. Would you really be ok if one of your "execs" were to have a public temper-tantrum to the point where he's actually arrested and charged over something as piddly as a $20 hotel bar cover? If that sets him off, imagine what he'll do under REAL pressure. Unless, of course, the apprentice job is just a cushy little puppet position with no real responsibility, authority, or decision-making power ;-)
