Judge Reinhold pleads no contest in Dallas airport dispute

DALLAS  — Actor Judge Reinhold has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in an airport security dispute at Dallas Love Field.

The Dallas Morning Newsreports Reinhold entered the plea Tuesday and accepted deferred adjudication. The charge will be dropped if the 59-year-old Reinhold stays out of trouble in Dallas for 90 days. Reinhold lives in New Mexico.

Authorities say Reinhold was arrested Dec. 8 after refusing a Transportation Security Administration screening.

The star of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ruthless People and Beverly Hills Cop says he walked through a scanner but wouldn't let agents check his backpack, which contained DVDs and CDs. He was charged with a Class C misdemeanor after an altercation with TSA and Dallas police officers.

Reinhold later cited an adverse reaction to medication for a respiratory infection.

Reinhold apologized after his Dec. 9 release from jail. He apologized again in a statement Wednesday issued through his Dallas attorney Steve Stodghill.

"I am sorry for being such a dumb--- with the TSA, and continue to respect and support the work of the Dallas Police Department."
