Jonathan Rhys Meyers Arrested

Jonathan Rhys Meyers (31) was arrested by French police on Saturday afternoon after he allegedly assaulted an airport lounge employee while drunk. After getting drunk, Meyers allegedly punched a bar employee at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris.

The bartender at the café area Le Quotidien in the departure area of the airport at terminal 2F, refused to serve Meyers anymore alcohol. Meyers and the bar manager then began shouting at each other. When a waiter tried to separate the fighting men, Meyers allegedly punched the waiter.

Meyers spent 3 hours in a drunk tank part of the jail to sober-up before being released.

The AFP reports that Rhys Meyers has been told to appear before the Correctional Tribunal in Bobigny in September to answer charges concerning, "voluntary violence, contempt, issuing death threats and assault."

In November of 2007 Meyers was arrested at Dublin airport for public intoxication, and he attended rehab that same year.

Meyers will likely be heading back to rehab again. We suggest getting help for what appear to be lingering emotional issues over his mother’s sudden, and unexpected, death.
