Sources close to LaFont say he and his girlfriend had gotten into some kind of dispute. The specific details surrounding the arrest are not clear, however.

Joe is currently being held on $1,500 bond, TMZ reports.

Both Joe and his stepson Tommy Chauvin narrowly escaped death in a big five-car pile-up near the Arkansas-Louisiana state line back in April.

His Swamp People co-star Mitchell Guist died in May.

    I like swamp people and I don't think it's fake, I felt bad when Mitch died and I wish that they would have had a memorial for him at the end of the season.

    I am absolutely astounded that people are ignorant enough to actually say," this isn't real." Let me tell you something, a man who works in an auto plant or a factory or sales would not last ONE DAY,,ONE 12 HOUR DAY IN THE SWAMP !!! You think that's easy what they do ? THAT'S ABOUT AS REAL AS LIFE GETS YOU IDIOTS.. I personally bought many an alligator tail from Joe LaFont that he caught and cleaned himself.These men know what real life and making a living is and when they say we wouldn't do anything else ? They wouldn't.They take care of their families..and this article? Hey stuff happens..get over it..we're not talking about Mel Gibson ok?

    These shows aren't real? The only reason I watch them is because they remind me of home now that I work in East Tennessee. These shows are super real. Well if you really know the swamp anyway.
