‘Desperate Housewives” star Ricardo Antonio Chavira celebrated the last day of shooting the ABC series this season by spending the night in jail.

Chavira, who plays ex-con Carlos Solis, was arrested by a member of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Valley Traffic Division for driving under the influence in LA at around 2 a.m. yesterday, a police source says.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Inmate Information Web site, Chavira was arrested at 2:20 a.m. and taken to the Valley Jail Section’s Van Nuys Station.

He was booked at 3:59 a.m. on a misdemeanor charge.

Bail was set at $25,000.

Chavira was released from jail at 1:31 p.m., with a court date set for May 24 at 8:30 a.m.

In 2005, Chavira told USA Today that he had been arrested several times when he was younger, after getting involved with a violent street gang. At one point, he said that he spent a week in jail when his father, then a prosecutor, refused to bail him out.

But the 39-year-old actor turned his life around when he turned 21. “I saw how much pain I was causing my dad,” he says. “It was stupid.”

It fell to Chavira’s wife, Marcea Dietzel, to inform his father, Texas Bexar County Judge Juan Antonio Chavira, that he had been arrested for DUI, reports radaronline.com.

“His publicist also called me, but, at the moment, I do not have any other details about what happened and that is the truth,” Judge Chavira told Radar yesterday. “I have still not spoken to my son.”

Meanwhile, castmate Eva Longoria, who plays Chavira’s TV wife Gabrielle Solis, marked the last day of shooting in an entirely different manner — by hiring the Fatburger food truck to visit the set and make burgers for the crew.

“Desperate Housewives,” which has undergone a ratings renaissance the past few seasons, has yet to be officially renewed by ABC — but that’s expected to happen when the network announces its fall schedule in its upfront presentation to advertisers later this month.
