Coming off a three-year relationship’s breakup is hard for anyone, but Garrett Hedlund might have just landed himself in some even hotter waters. The actor was arrested and placed in custody in Franklin County, Tennessee for public intoxication the night of January 22, TMZ reported. Bond has been set at $2,100 for a misdemeanor arrest, and Hedlund was released the next morning after posting the bond (with a court date set for March, per the outlet).

It’s not the first time the “TRON: Legacy” star bumped up against the law in relation to imbibing. Thanks to a DUI arrest in January 2020, Hedlund is now facing a negligence lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by People. The mother and daughter suing Hedlund claimed that during the incident, Hedlund was so intoxicated — with a blood level testing at .36% — that he passed out and crashed into their Nissan, resulting in serious injuries. Pleading no contest to a DUI charge in 2020, per TMZ, Garrett was placed on a three-year probation.
As the outlet noted, the public intoxication arrest can only spell bad things for Hedlund’s probation, as one of the general rules of probation is to stay clean of breaking the law.
