Disney actor Billy Unger landed himself in hot water with the law over the weekend when he was arrested for a DUI, but he has now issued a statement thanking his fans for their support.
The 18-year-old, who shot to fame starring in the network's Lab Rats, was reportedly driving along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on Saturday minutes after midnight, when he was said to have been pulled over by police officers for speeding.

According to TMZ, Unger was found to be under the influence after his alcohol test levels came back with a .08 rating, which is barely the legal limit, however, a Californian law for drivers under the age of 21 means that if they have any alcohol in their system at all, it's considered as a DUI.
After the test, Unger was arrested, taken to a jail and released. He has now issued a statement asking for any judgements about his behaviour to be reserved for when he makes a court appearance.

"In light of last Saturday's occurrence, I wish to let all my fans know how much I value and appreciate their continued support of me at this time," Unger wrote in the statement published on Twitter.
"As I move forward responsibly in this matter, I simply ask the public, and more importantly my fans, to reserve judgement and allow the opportunity for me to address this issue properly through the legal system."
In addition to Lab Rats, Unger has starred in a number of shows including Desperate Housewives and Hawthorne.
