Former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Lauri Peterson’s son was arrested on Monday on suspicion of attempted murder and a litany of other charges.
Joshua Waring, 27, is accused of shooting a man in Costa Mesa, California, then fleeing the scene in a stolen BMW, per the OC Register.
After police located the vehicle, Waring fled and led officers on a high-speed pursuit, which ended after he was involved in a collision. He then exited the vehicle and ran. He was apprehended by police following a brief standoff inside a local business.
He stands accused of attempted murder, vehicle theft, hit and run, and felony evading police. He is being held on $1 million bail.
Waring has had run ins with the law in the past, including for possession of heroin and ecstasy with intent to sell in 2008, as well as for spousal battery in 2010.
Peterson was one of the original cast members on the hit Bravo reality show. She appeared on Seasons 1-4 as a main cast member. She then made several appearances in Season 5 and Season 8.
Representatives for Bravo did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment.
Last October, Peterson revealed that she and her husband legally adopted Waring’s infant daughter Kennedy as he continued to struggle with drugs.
“It’s starting all over again, but it’s totally different,” Peterson told The Daily Dish. “So I’ve got so much wisdom and it’s so easy and I’ve got my oldest daughter, Ashley, and she’s a huge help. And Kennedy just loves Ashley. And she loves all of her little cousins and her aunts and uncles and everybody.”
