16-year-old bride Courtney Stodden’s father spent 21 hours in jail for a DUI, and Breaking Celebrity News has all the exclusive details.

Courtney’s dad, Alex John Stodden, was booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail in Washington State for Driving Under the Influence at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday and was released Friday at 6:00 a.m.

According to jail officials, Alex was arrested in February on a DUI charge and appeared in court earlier this week where he pled guilty and was ordered to serve jail time by the judge.

“He went to jail on Thursday on a court ordered commitment,” the official told Breaking Celebrity News.

Stodden’s teenage daughter Courtney grabbed headlines in May when she married Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison — who is three years older than Courtney’s 48-year-old father, Alex!

“Every father can only pray to have such a man behind their daughter,” Alex told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview in June. “Doug is the nicest man I’ve ever met in my life.”
