Actor Judge Reinhold 'embarrassed' after Dallas airport arrest

DALLAS — Actor Judge Reinhold says he's "embarrassed" that he was taken to jail after a confrontation with security agents at Dallas Love Field Airport.

The 59-year-old actor was arrested Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. He was released from jail early Friday.

As he left the lockup Friday, Reinhold told WFAA-TV he's fine, "just embarrassed."

Dallas police said they arrested Reinhold after Transportation Security Administration workers reported he refused to submit to screening at a security checkpoint.

Class C disorderly conduct is punishable by a fine of up to $500.

Dallas County sheriff's officials haven't released bond information. Reinhold's attorney has not returned messages left Friday.

The attorney, Steve Stodghill, told The Dallas Morning News on Thursday that Reinhold cleared security but his bag raised an alarm. He was taken aside by airport security for a pat-down and resisted.
