‘Pioneer Woman’ Ree Drummonds cousin, Caleb, was arrested for DUI just over a month after being involved in a scary wreck that could have claimed his life … TMZ has learned.
According to Osage County arrest records, okay … the 21-year-old was booked for DUI early Saturday morning. No word on whether he’s still in custody at this point, but Caleb posed for this mugshot on the way in … there’s no question it’s Ree’s flesh and blood.
The exact circumstances of his arrest have not been released, but there are other allegations he was called about … including transporting an open container (beer) and carrying firearms while under the influence.
Caleb’s arrest comes just over a month after he and his uncle – Ree’s husband, Ladd collided head first they were both respectively active in two different fire engines. The family was fighting a raging fire on their Oklahoma farm when the two platforms crashed.
We were then told that Caleb was not wearing a seat belt … and he was thrown from the vehicle, about 21 meters or so. He and his uncle were both hospitalized but were eventually released and appear to have been on the mend.

Ree herself gave an encouraging update on March 15, saying they were indeed injured, but “repairable” in a update message on her famous blog. She also posted photos of the actual fire-fighting installations in question – which, by the way, are much older than modern trucks – and it looks like the impact was huge.
We’ve contacted the Osage County Sheriff’s Office for more details on Caleb’s suspected DUI … no word back so far.
