In the early morning hours Saturday, original 'Bed Intruder' star Antoine Dodson was arrested.Police in Huntsville, Ala., booked the viral video star on a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana; he was in custody a short time, according to TMZ, and released.
Dodson, 24, was charged with other misdemeanors as well: Speeding, failing to appear twice on a traffic charge and failing to have liability insurance.
When a reporter first put him on the air during a local news broadcast in 2010, Dodson said he'd witnessed an attempted sexual assault on his sister -- and he adamantly warned viewers 'Hide your kids, hide your wife' from the attacker. A viral sensation was born.
The drug-related arrest marks a setback for Dodson, who rocketed to fame after his initial TV clip inspired an Auto-tune song from the Gregory Brothers. The Chicago native then appeared on the 'Today' show, endorsed a mobile app and announced plans to shoot a reality TV pilot.
At the time he was discovered on the local news, Dodson was residing in Alabama housing projects and welcomed his nearly instant celebrity status: "This could be an opportunity for our family to get out of the 'hood," he recalls telling his sister, as quoted in an NPR report.
