Singer Pee Wee apprehended in the US, under allegations of driving under the influence of alcohol
Former Kumbia Kings Member Pee Wee Arrested for Second DUI in Eight Months
Pee Wee (Irvin Salinas Martínez), a former member of the popular Latin music groups Kumbia Kings and Kumbia All Starz, has been arrested twice for driving under the influence (DUI) in Texas within an eight-month span.
The first arrest occurred in January 2024 in Alamos County, Texas, for which Pee Wee paid a $1,500 bail to secure his release. Details about this arrest are scarce, but in a subsequent interview, Pee Wee expressed regret for his actions and stated that it was not the message he wanted to send to the youth and the public in general [1].
The second arrest took place in Edinburg, Texas, on August 10, 2025. Pee Wee had to pay a $5,000 bail to be released from custody, but no further details about the incident are currently known [2]. His legal team is actively discussing his release, although no official statement has been made by Pee Wee or his team [1].
A report by Texans Report broke the news of Pee Wee's August 2025 arrest, but no photo was published in the article. In contrast, a photo of his January 2024 arrest was published, showing Pee Wee in his signature orange attire [1].
It is important to note that, beyond these two incidents, no other previously reported DUI incidents or publicly available detailed statements from Pee Wee are documented in the search results.
Pee Wee's career with the Kumbia Kings and Kumbia All Starz brought him significant popularity, and his recent legal troubles may impact his public image. However, as this is an ongoing situation, further details about his current legal situation are not yet available.
