Jake Harris, the son of the late Phil Harris of TV's 'Deadliest Catch,' was arrested after a drunk driving incident involving a hit-and-run Thursday night.
Harris was due to appear on the BJ Shea Morning Experience, a Seattle radio show, Friday morning but appeared in court with a lawyer instead.
Harris was stopped by state troopers when calls reported a BMW driving erratically down Interstate Highway 5.
Police said Harris' car matched the description of the vehicle that rear-ended another driver's vehicle earlier that evening.
Harris was charged with drunk driving, hit-and-run and driving with a suspended license. He is being held in jail on $2,000 bail.
This incident follows the death of Harris father who suffered a stroke while fishing on their vessel Jan. 29.
