Reinhold's attorney said the actor had successfully passed the Transportation Security Administration scanner and was stopped only after his bag raised an alarm, according to the Dallas Morning News. | |
The lawyer added that the actor did not understand why he needed to be searched after he had gone through the scanner without incident. | |
As Reinhold was led away by police to jail, he said to journalists: "Thanks for the exposure guys. Glad you're here." | |
If found guilty, he could pay up to a $500 (£395) fine. | If found guilty, he could pay up to a $500 (£395) fine. |
