Sean Young Arrested After Oscars
by Sean ComerThere's an old tongue-in-joke jab about actors who can't get work: "So-And-So couldn't even get arrested in Hollywood."
Sean Young is now completely safe from that.
The one-time star of "Blade Runner," "Dune" and "No Way Out" - but possibly most famously, "Ace Venture: Pet Detective," where she played a homicidal transsexual former NFL placekicker who kidnaps a dolphin and Dan Marino (and check another one off the list...) - was placed under citizens' arrest Sunday night following the Academy Awards, reports the Huffington Post by way of TMZ.
It all started at the post-Academy Awards Governor's Ball. Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith claims Young apparently got into a scuffle with a security guard who denied her entrance.
"When security asked her to leave again, a guard may have placed his hand on her arm when Sean allegedly slapped him. She was then placed under citizen's arrest for battery," a source told TMZ. Associated Press business executive Tom Januszewski witnessed the incident and claimed that one security guard held a forearm across Young's neck subduing her, while another restrained her further with handcuffs. He added that while forceful, he didn't feel that security's roughness was excessive or unnecessary.
She later posted $20,000 bail at a Hollywood police station around 2:55 Monday morning, reports ET Online. It's not the first time Young's Oscar-night social agenda has been foiled. She also tried crashing the 2006 Vanity Fair Oscar Party. After being removed from the 2008 Directors Guild of America Awards, she sought treatment for alcohol abuse.
Neither Young's agent David Shapira nor Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Tarrah Lee Curtis immediately returned HuffPo's requests for comments.
