Ty Pennington, host of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” has been charged with driving under the influence.

Two misdemeanor counts were filed against Pennington on Tuesday. He is scheduled to be arraigned June 4. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Pennington, 42, was arrested shortly after 12:30 a.m. Saturday and released after posting $5,000 bail.
