The father of Christina Aguilera's boyfriend exclusively tells RadarOnline.com that he feels his son was a victim of circumstance, and he's worried for the couple's welfare in wake of their recent arrest on alcohol-related charges.As Radar Online has previously reported, Aguilera, 30, and her 25-year-old beau, Matt Rutler, were taken into custody on March 1 after police noticed Rutler driving erratically in West Hollywood, CA. Rutler was charged with DUI, while the Beautiful singer was charged with misdemeanor public intoxication; authorities said they do not intend to pursue a case against her however.
"I just feel bad he got into trouble like this, but it could have happened to anyone," Matt's dad David Rutler told Radar Online.
"He really didn't have that much to drink, he just got caught.
"Matt was only like .01 over the legal limit... it's not like he was that drunk. There are drugs and gangs running rampant in L.A., and they have a press conference about Matt," said the distraught dad, who went on to express anxiety for the couple.
"I'm concerned for both of them. I hope everything turns out OK," he revealed.
"He has a perfect record, he has never been in any trouble. He is an excellent driver, I taught him to drive and sat next to him in the passenger seat as he drove to school everyday, he's a good kid!" explained David Rutler.
David hints that Matt got behind the wheel because he was looking after Christina, who the police described as "severely intoxicated."
"He's a good friend, he doesn't leave them (his friends), he's really there for them, he's a good person to have as a friend and will be that to her," said David Rutler.
