The “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” star allegedly confronted Transportation Security Administration employees, Dallas PD said.

According to their press release about the incident, officers were alerted by the TSA that an individual was “causing a disturbance” and refusing to submit to a screening at a checkpoint area.

“The officers responded and subsequently took the individual into custody after he refused to comply,” police said. Reinhold was charged with disorderly conduct.

The actor, who is 59, was informed that the pat-down could be done in a private room, but he refused the offer. Police were then called to the scene and attempted to calm the actor, but according to authorities Reinhold was “antagonistic” toward the officers.
