Matthew Rutler’s Dad Bummed His Son Was Caught Drinking And Driving

by Liz Black

If your kid got caught drinking and driving, you’d probably be pretty upset they they put their life and the lives of others at risk, right? You’d hope, at least. But David Rutler, father to Matthew Rutler, who was arrested for DUI last week after a night of drinks with Christina Aguilera, is actually just upset that his son got caught.

In an interview with Radar Online, the elder Rutler said “I just feel bad he got into trouble like this, but it could have happened to anyone. He really didn’t have that much to drink, he just got caught. Matt was only like .01 over the legal limit…It’s not like he was that drunk.” That’s not the greatest way to look at things, but really, the entire interview with this man is sort of a mess. He goes on to say that Matthew is a qualified ocean lifeguard who’s good with children and was president of his high school’s senior class, so on paper, this guy has a great college application/online dating profile, at least, with the exception of being arrested.
