"Real World: Skeletons" star Tony Raines is looking at jail time for his drinking in public arrest and it could have been avoided if he had just showed up in court.

Tony was a no-show for his court date this week in Charleston, SC. His lawyer didn't show either, so the judge issued a bench warrant for Tony's arrest.

Tony was arrested in a Burger King parking lot in March after several people called cops to report his alleged reckless driving. He ended up getting booked for drinking in public.

Now with the warrant, he's facing up to 15 days in jail and a $262 fine.
