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.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers has been looking terrible since he climbed back into a bottle after his mother died, but he was looking better on The View when he was talking about The Tudors, and the steamy sex scenes.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers recently split up with his girlfriend after his mother’s death, then she kicked him out of her apartment in Camden. Now there are reports that Jonathan may become roommates with Pete Doherty, and the pair are looking for a place in East London.

A source said, "Although Jonathan spends a lot of time filming in Los Angeles these days he still needs somewhere to stay while working in London. So when a mutual friend suggested he and Pete could get a flat together, Jonathan jumped at the chance."

Now that Jonathan is drinking again I guess it won’t matter if he shacks up with an addict like Pete. They’ll need to buy a refrigerator though to store all the beer for their cereal.

A Dublin court has dropped charges against Jonathan Rhys Meyers, related to his arrest in an airport on November 18. Meyers was arrested at Dublin airport for public drunkenness, and threatening and abusive behavior. He was released on $590 bail. According to the AP, Meyers’ lawyer told the court he "accepts his behaviour was unacceptable and out of character," and that Jonathan would make a voluntary donation to a charity.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested just a few days ago (pictured above), and released on bail, after he became aggressive at a Dublin airport. Now we know the reason. Jonathan’s mother, Geri Meyers O’Keeffe (50) who was known to have been in poor health, died at 7 am at the Mercy Hospital in Cork soon after being admitted. Jonathan mother died only hours before he was got drunk and was arrested. Family and friends said they were stunned to learn of Geri’s passing. They said she had been sick earlier in the year, but had recovered. Jonathan is pictured with his mother below.

Just yesterday Jonathan cracked open a can of extra-strong cider in the street at 10 am yesterday while in London (pictured below). This is a very dangerous time for Jonathan since he just exited rehab in April, and now he’s drinking to cope with the loss of his mother.

A friend said, "She was extremely proud of Jonathan. She used to tell us she knew from the time he was born that he was destined for great things." Hopefully Jonathan’s friends and family will lend him the support he needs to get through this difficult time before he ends up back in rehab or worse. Make your mother proud, put the drink down, and walk with your head high like Kanye West.
