'Deadliest Catch' captains Sig Hansen and Jake Anderson explain how they're living the American Dream
Despite putting in more hard, grueling work than typical reality TV stars, two of the captains on Discovery's 'Deadliest Catch' opened up to Fox News about how they're living the American Dream.
Former "Deadliest Catch" star Jerod Sechrist was arrested in Tampa, Florida, for allegedly shoplifting from an Ikea store.
The former deckhand, 33, reportedly stole more than $1,000 worth of goods from the home retailer on Wednesday per Fox 13 in Tampa Bay. Sechrist is facing a grand theft charge and was booked in the country jail.
He reportedly still hasn't posted bond.
According to police, Sechrist has shoplifted multiple times in October but this was the first time he was caught. However, this isn't Sechrist's first run-in with police.

He arrested on Oct. 5 after officers obtained a warrant over a past reckless-driving incident. Police explained that when Sechrist was taken into custody, they found heroin on the former reality TV star’s person.
