Puck From ‘Real World’ Jailed: Reality Star In Prison After Stalking Woman
David "Puck" Rainey, one of the most infamous contestants on MTV's "Real World" franchise, is in jail after being convicted of stalking a woman, according to TMZ.
According to the website, little is known about the stalking incident, but it apparently took place on February 22. Puck pleaded "no contest" to the charges and was sentenced to two years in jail back in September. He entered Wasco State Prison on November 8.
TMZ speculates that the long sentence is a result of Puck violating a restraining order.
This is not the first time the "Real World" star has made the news in recent years. Back in March of 2010, Puck was hospitalized after flipping his car on Route 79 in California. He and his son were on their way to a fishing trip when he swerved to avoid a deer, according to PopEater. Both suffered serious injuries in the crash, and Puck was later charged with driving under the influence, according to TVGuide.
Puck from "Real World" was also arrested back in 2011 on domestic violence charges, according to the Los Angeles Times. He had previously been sentenced to a year in jail after pleading "no contest" to battery charges back in 2009.
Puck was a contestant on "Real World: San Francisco," where he became famous for his arguments with fellow roommate Pedro Zamora. His conflicts with Zamora, the show's first HIV-positive cast member, made Time Magazine's list of the most epic moments in reality television history. Puck was eventually evicted from the house because of his antics.
