The 59-year-old actor was arrested Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. He was released from jail early Friday.

As he left the lockup Friday, Reinhold told WFAA-TV he's fine, 'just embarrassed.'

Dallas County sheriff's officials haven't released bond information. Reinhold's attorney has not returned messages left Friday.

The arrest has affected his weekend plans too with Reinhold's appearance at Paradise City Comic Con this weekend now cancelled.

According to TMZ, the event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida would have seen the actor pose for selfies and sign autographs for about $40 each.

He was supposed to be at the event for four days in total.  

Reinhold was featured in 1980s movies including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Beverly Hills Cop and Gremlims.

He more recently appeared in Arrested Development and alongside Tim Allen in the The Santa Claus movie franchise.

The Beverly Hills Cop star was reportedly belligerent when he was selected by Transportation Security Administration agents for a random pat-down on Thursday at about 2pm.

Reinhold refused to comply, even after security guards offered to do the search in a separate room, TMZ reports. 

A source told WFAA that Reinhold took off his shirt and used explicit language.

Officers had tried to calm him down but he again became belligerent. 

Police arrived on the scene and arrested him for disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor that carries a fine. 

Reinhold was reportedly on his way to New Mexico where he has a home in Santa Fe.

He was transported to Dallas County Jail. 

His attorney, Steve Stodghill, said Reinhold was stopped after his bag set off an alarm. He had already successfully passed through the scanner, Dallas News reports. 

Stodghill said his client couldn't understand why TSA agents needed to pat him down after he had already gone through the scanner without any incident.
