Tyler Christopher was arrested on Friday after being found at the Hollywood Burbank Airport asleep on the floor inside Terminal A. After police officers woke him up, Christopher realized that he had missed his flight. Officers arrested him based on signs that he was intoxicated and unfit to take care of himself. 

He is set to appear before a court on a later date and his bail was set at $250. 

This is not the first time Christopher has been arrested for public intoxication. In 2019 he was arrested in Indiana while celebrating his 47th birthday. He was found asleep in an Uber due to alcohol consumption. When he went to court he pleaded guilty to the charges. 

Christopher has been candid about his struggle with alcoholism. He cites alcoholism to be the reason he lost his job acting in General Hospital and Days of Our Lives. He also added how the pandemic added to his struggles but he was able to seek help through inpatient treatment.

Christopher was married to Eva Longoria, who was on Desperate Housewives, from 2002 to 2004. He remarried in 2008 to Brienne Pedigo and the couple had two children, Boheme Christopher and Greysun James Christopher. They divorced in 2021

Christopher posted a tribute on Instagram three weeks ago to fellow cast member, Jacklyn Zeman, who he acted with on General Hospital. He captioned the post: “What a beautiful soul that will be missed here on earth. Jackie was one of my first mentors in General Hospital. She was a warm woman with a witty sense of humor. She embraced life. Sad day.”
