Actor Miles Teller Arrested For Public Drunkenness In San Diego
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Actor Miles Teller is out of jail after being arrested for public drunkenness.
San Diego Police officer Billy Hernandez says the 30-year-old actor was arrested Sunday morning after officers spotted him swaying and falling into the street.
Teller had a string of tweets following the arrest, writing on Twitter Monday that "there was no evidence to charge me with a crime," but Hernandez says the actor was booked on suspicion of public intoxication, a misdemeanor.
Went down to SD to see my buddy before he deployed. I wasn't arrested I was detained bc there was no evidence to charge me with a crime.
