It was quite a week for "The Apprentice" candidate Chris Shelton.

On April 10, the 22-year-old real estate developer was taken into custody for lashing out at employees of the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Tampa, Fla., over a $20 cover charge for the hotel bar. Shelton was released after posting $250 bail.

Then on Thursday's episode of the NBC reality show, Shelton was fired by Donald Trump.

"Basically, what happened (in Tampa) was I had paid about $2,000 for the most expensive suite they have," Shelton, who lives in Las Vegas, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "In Vegas, I wouldn't have been bothered with a cover charge. It was a misunderstanding."
