After actor Judge Reinhold claimed he was 'embarrassed' after being taken to jail following a confrontation with security agents at Dallas airport last week, the 59-year-old has taken to Twitter to poke fun at himself.
Reinhold was arrested Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge after Transportation Security Administration workers reported he refused to submit to screening at a security checkpoint.
After apologizing to the Dallas Police for 'wasting their time' in a series of tweets posted on Saturday night, Reinhold thanked his friends and fans for their support through his recent misadventures.

'Hey, Billy! Can't you book yourself?' he was apparently asked.
In another tweet he thanked his friends for their laughter and support.
'No man is poor who has friends!' he said.
Even the police appeared to show some humor as they referred to the actor by the name of one of the characters he played in Beverley Hills Cop

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 $363 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.
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.
