22-year old would-be Apprentice, Chris Shelton, may here that famous phrase "You're fired!" from "the Donald" after this arrest at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Shelton is one of six remaining contestants on the popular NBC reality show. Hotel officials say the millionaire real estate mogul was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and released after posting $250 bond. Tribal police spokesman Gary Bitner says Shelton was being unruly in the hotel lobby, "He was loud and he just wouldn't calm down. " Officials say Shelton was apparently upset about a $20 hotel bar charge and began "causing a scene" in the lobby. The police report indicates several patrons were visibly shaken by the incident in which Shelton allegedly used profanity. Shelton was staying at the hotel with friends celebrating his success on the show. NBC is not commenting on the arrest incident, calling it a private matter. It is not known if Shelton makes it to the final show, which has yet to be taped.
