Jonathan Rhys Meyers Arrested After Airport Fight

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, of Tudors fame, was detained by French police on Saturday afternoon following an incident in which he allegedly assaulted an airport lounge employee while drunk.  An employee at an airport cafe at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris refused to serve him because he appeared drunk.  A shouting match developed between Rhys Meyers and the bar manager. Then when another bar employee tried to separate the pair, Rhys Meyers swung and punched the intervening waiter.

Always an appropriate response.  I'm guessing he missed his flight.

Police handcuffed Jonathan and kept him in a sober locked area at the airport for three hours.  He has to appear before the Correctional Tribunal in Bobigny in September to answer charges concerning, "voluntary violence, contempt, issuing death threats and assault."

Jonathan has a history of this behavior.  He was previously arrested for public intoxication in November 2007 at the Dublin airport. In April of the same year he spent time in a rehab facility for treatment.

Looks like he has fallen off the wagon.
