Jonathan Rhys Meyers - Why common sense is the real winner

Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers escaped a criminal conviction yesterday. He was arrested for public order offences and charged with using threatening and abusive behaviour to airline staff and security people at Dublin Airport on November 18, when he tried to board a flight for London.

He was drunk and he made a fool of himself. Within hours of his actions, he suffered a bereavement when his mother died

He was not the first person, nor will he be the last, to behave foolishly under the influence of alcohol, but he is not likely to forget the episode that easily.
