Jonathan Rhys Meyers arrested

Monday, November 19th, 2007

jonathan-rhys-meyers.jpgActor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, known for his roles in films like Bend in Like Beckham and for his work on the Showtime series The Tudors was arrested in a Dublin airport yesterday afternoon. He was charged with public drunkenness and breach of the peace.

The police were called after he was reportedly disruptive at the British Airways ticket counter and at an airport gate. He was told several times to calm down, but when he did not, he was arrested. He was released from jail on bail and will head to court on December 5th to face charges.

I cannot really speculate on what the Irish courts will do for a charge like this, but in the United States it would most likely get dropped or he could get time served. It really is not that big of a deal, but they may treat it more harshly because it was in an airport, where there are security concerns, rather than in a pub.

About Celebrity Court

Which actor just got thrown in the slammer? What celebutante was driving drunk? What singer is getting sued for copyright infringement for stealing song lyrics? For the answers to these questions and more, Celebrity Court is the place to be. Written from the perspective of a practicing attorney, it is a refreshing look at the age old problem of what happens when good celebrities go bad . . . and get caught.
