Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett was arrested on Tuesday after an incident in a bar at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport [ http://www.mspairport.com/ ].
A roster at Hennepin County Jail shows Jarrett, 59, being held on obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer [ http://www4.co.hennepin.mn.us/webbooking/chargedetail.asp?v_booknum=2014012617 ], a misdemeanor. His bail was set at $300.
The news came just days after it was announced that Jarrett, a weekend anchor, would be taking time off [ http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/weekend-changes-at-fox-news-gregg-jarrett-taking-time-off-for-personal-reasons_b224727 ] for "personal reasons," TV Newser reported last week.
Police responded to a report of a drunken man at the Northern Lights Grill in the airport's main terminal [ http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/260211551.html ], the Star Tribune reports. When they arrived, Jarrett appeared to be drunk and refused to obey orders [ http://www.kare11.com/story/news/crime/2014/05/21/fox-news-channel-anchor-arrested-at-msp/9404795/ ], according to KARE.
Shortly after news of the arrest was reported, Jarrett's mug shot began making the round on social media:
