Ariel Winter looks to have gotten herself into some serious (scripted) trouble.
The 15-year-old and her onscreen mother Julie Bowen were spotted on set of ABC's Modern Family getting arrested and jailed for a staged scene on Tuesday.
The detainment was filmed at a temporary fairground in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Culver City, California.

Ariel was seen being apprehended and handcuffed by comedic actor Jordan Peele under the watchful gaze of her onscreen grandfather Ed O'Neil.
The actress did not look happy about being apprehended as she had to be tugged along by her arresting officer.
Wearing ripped denim trousers and comfy brown boots, the teen star feigned a sulk during her day of filming.

Led away: The 15-year-old was led away by guest star Jordan Peele, who was playing a policeman

Ariel's costume was completed with a pair of dark framed spectacles and a green jumper.
But her onscreen mother Claire Dunphy, played by Bowen, was even less thrilled by being manhandled and cuffed by television police officer.
Creating a big fuss, Bowen could be seen resisting arrest as she shook and tried to break from her co-star's grasp.

But the resistance was to no avail, as both mother and daughter ended up in the pretend jailhouse set up at the staged fairgrounds.
The episode looks to be a comedic goldmine as the stills by themselves were quite humorous.
The hit sitcom is currently airing episodes for its fifth season on Wednesday nights on ABC.

Arrested: Bowen's character was arrested by guest star Jordan Peele
Her mother, Chrystal Workman is seeking custody of the 15-year-old, who is currently living in the care of her older sister, Shanelle Grey.
In the latest surprise development, the star's father Glenn Workman, who previously supported his estranged wife's bid for full custody, changed his position and filed documents at court to support his daughter's current living arrangements with her 35-year-old sister.
The reason behind Mr Workman's change of position in the custody battle has yet to be explained.
Unfortunately for Ariel the custody battle rages on, however in a recent hearing the presiding judge is said to have notified both sides that the teenager will not be forced to testify as there could be a potentially detrimental psychological effect upon her.

She's 15 and all a lot of people say is she's fat. For god sake she is beautiful. This newspaper goes on about bullying people online and yet its acceptable for them to let people post comments about a 15 year old girl who is famous.
