Actor Judge Reinhold arrested for disorderly conduct

Actor Judge Reinhold has been arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after a confrontation with security officials at a Texas airport.

Dallas Police Department said the 59-year-old was arrested on Thursday afternoon at Dallas Love Field Airport after Transportation Security Administration employees reported that he refused to submit to a screening at a checkpoint.

Reinhold's lawyer Steve Stodghill said Reinhold cleared security but his bag raised an alarm. He was taken aside by airport security for a pat-down and resisted.

He was taken to Dallas County jail for booking. Disorderly conduct is punishable by a fine of up to 500 dollars.

Reinhold is remembered mainly for roles in 1980s movies such as Beverly Hills Cop and Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
