Actor detained at the airport

On May 26, a man was detained at the Hollywood Burbank airport for being completely out of it. Soap opera actor Tyler Christopher, a former husband of Eva Longoria, was the man in question.

Intoxicated

According to the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority Police Department, the 50-year-old actor had clear symptoms of drunkenness.

Asleep in Terminal A

As reported by the airport authorities, Tyler Christopher was asleep on the floor of Terminal A, near the American Airlines desk, when agents found him.

He missed his flight

When questioned by the agents, the actor said he had missed his flight and had fallen asleep.

Unable to take care of himself

Burbank police spokesman Sergeant Brent Fekety reported in an email to the LA Times that the actor displayed the objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication. He was unable to care for himself."

Notice of a drunken man in the airport

The Burbank Police Department confirms that they received a notification that there was a man in a drunken state at the airport at 8:30 p.m.

Tyler Christopher arrested

Two hours later, the star of 'General Hospital' and 'Days of Our Lives' was arrested and taken to the police station.

Out on bail

The actor was booked on suspicion of public intoxication and had to post $250 bail and $1,000 bond for his release.

From 'General Hospital' to the judge

"He 'cited out'," said Sgt. Brent Fekety, which means that Tyler Christopher will need to face a judge for his actions.

No comment (for now)

At the moment, neither the actor nor his representatives have made statements regarding what happened at the Burbank Hollywood airport.

Flashback to 2019

Tyler Christopher has already had a similar problem. In November 2019, he was arrested in Indiana after falling asleep in the back of an Uber, People magazine reports.

Arrested but no treatment

The actor then pleaded guilty to two counts of intoxication. However, while prosecutors had requested an alcoholism treatment program for him, he managed to avoid that.

It's Tyler Christopher's second arrest

Now, with the second incident, it could be more difficult for him to get out of the requirement of a rehab program.
