Mary Delgado Mugshot

Former ‘Bachelor’ star Mary Delgado who appeared in two seasons of the show was arrested Thursday morning in Tampa for Driving Under the Influence. She was pulled over at 12:45 a.m. according to the arrest report and she refused a blood alcohol test on the misdemeanor charge and was later released on a $500 bond. This is not the first run in with the law for Delgado who was The Bachelor winner during Byron Velvick’s season. Delgado 42, was also arrested back in 2007 on battery charges in which she was accused of punching Byron in the face.  The couple had appeared together on a ‘Bachelor’ reunion show the night before she was arrested for punching him. Apparently the audience was asked if Velvick should marry Delgado and behind her back Velvick shook his head no which sparked laughter from the audience. This incident may have been the cause for the fight later. The couple had become engaged on the show in 2004 but ended their relationship in 2009.
