FOX Sportscaster Josh Booty was arrested early this morning for DUI -- and was so uncooperative he had to be tased!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Booty was taken to the Orange County Jail, where he was booked -- and that's when he went ballistic.

O.C. Sheriff's spokesperson Jim Amormino tell TMZ, "Booty was belligerent and uncooperative." Amormino says his deputies used a taser -- "less than lethal force" -- to contain him.

After being tased, Josh fell to the ground, hitting his head on the floor and cracking it open. He was taken to a hospital where he was stitched up.

Josh is the brother of USC quarterback John David Booty. Fight on!

1. He didn't learn that at Evangel Christian Academy

Sounds like something he picked up at LSU... :)

I'm so glad there's more than one Booty-brother; the more chances we have to say that funny-ass name the better.

3. If my name were Booty, I'd be out of control too.
