"Deadliest Catch" star Jake Harris -- arrested last month for DUI, hit-and-run and much, much more -- had his DUI case dropped yesterday ... which is what normally happens when you blow a .00.
And it gets better for Jake ... even though he admitted to having a prescription for Xanax -- cops had no evidence he was driving under the influence of the med.
And there's more good news for Mr. Harris. Although an imprint of what looks like Jake's license plate was found on the car he allegedly hit ... he wasn't charged with hit-and-run because witnesses couldn't place him behind the wheel.
Jake was charged with driving on a suspended license and reckless driving. He's due back in court on March 26.

Miami Heat forward Dorell Wright was arrested in Miami Beach early this morning after cops say he was driving his 2005 Bentley under the influence of alcohol.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Wright was pulled over at 3:37 AM after cops noticed he was driving erratically.
Cops say they approached the vehicle and when they began talking with Wright, they noticed "red and watery eyes, odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath, and low and slurred speech."
Cops say the 24-year-old couldn't provide current insurance information -- they also discovered he was driving on a suspended driver's license.
Wright was taken to a nearby jail where he was booked for DUI and driving on a suspended license.
Earlier in the evening, Wright played 22 minutes in the Heat's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers -- but he only scored one point in the game.
Story developing ...

"Deadliest Catch" star Jake Harris was busted for DUI -- and his arrest was filmed from above, courtesy of a Washington State Patrol chopper.
The 24-year-old was pulled over after a witness called 911 about an aggressive driver. The footage -- which is pretty interesting to watch -- shows Jake flunking a field sobriety test.
We're told Jake, whose father Captain Phil Harris died earlier this month, refused to take a blood-alcohol test.
As we previously reported, Jake was arrested on suspicion of DUI, hit-and-run and driving on a suspended license.
He was released on $1,500 bond Saturday and will be in court tomorrow.

Michael Lohan is trying to enlist the help of famed lawyer Robert Shapiro in Lindsay Lohan's DUI probation case ... this after M.L. was shut down by the judge on Friday.
Michael was a no-show for Lindsay's hearing Thursday, but on Friday he went to the courthouse in Beverly Hills and tried going before Judge Marsha Revel. We're told the judge muzzled him, saying she would not let him appear in Lindsay's case.
Michael tells TMZ the judge told him to hire his own lawyer, who could then confer with the prosecutor who is handing Lindsay's DUI probation case.
Michael thinks his daughter is in trouble with substance abuse.
No immediate reaction from Shapiro or Lindsay's lawyer.

Former NBA star Jayson Williams will have four days to drown his sorrows before heading to prison next week ... because the alcohol monitoring bracelet is coming off.
Jayson's lawyer, Linda Kenny-Baden, tells TMZ the SCRAM bracelet he was ordered to wear after his DUI bust last month will come off on Friday.
But Jayson's bracelet isn't being 86'd for a good reason. He's being sentenced to prison on Tuesday over the death of his limo driver -- and the bracelet has to come off before he goes to the pokey.
It must Absolut-ly suck to be Jayson.

Khloe Kardashian was a wanted woman ... a woman who was on the lam for 7 years until lady justice -- and a tranny -- caught up with her in court this morning.
Ok, we overstate a bit. Here's what happened. In 2003, Khloe got a speeding ticket and just forgot about it. When the ticket wasn't paid, a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
Fast forward to 2007, when Khloe was busted for DUI. For some reason the warrant did not appear on her record during the arrest or prosecution. Nor did the warrant surface when Khloe got various traffic tickets over the years.
So how, you ask, did the warrant come to light? Memba that whole thing between Khloe and the tranny outside Playhouse nightclub last December? Well the tranny filed a police report and that's when a cop noticed the warrant.
So today, Khloe, along with her lawyer -- the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley -- appeared in an L.A. court with a mea culpa. The judge ordered Khloe to pay $200 in court costs, recalled the warrant and dismissed the ticket.
As for the tranny case, cops sided with Khloe.
