"The Challenge Star Nelson Thomas Faces DWI Charges Months After Near-Fatal Car Crash"

Nelson Thomas, star of MTV's The Challenge, has been charged with a DWI in Texas, more than seven months after surviving a serious car accident. Thomas was arrested and posed for a mugshot, with officers claiming he had bloodshot, glassy eyes and a strong odor of alcohol. A blood test revealed a BAC of .178, more than double the legal limit. Thomas lost control of his vehicle, which struck a bridge and erupted into flames. He failed a field sobriety test and was initially released from custody due to his injuries. Thomas is set to appear in court in November.
