Tree City Comic Con Gone Wild

Nicholas Brendon MugshotSounds like there might be some pretty wild comic conventions going on in Idaho. Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was detained in Boise, Idaho on Friday night. The actor was picked up on suspicion of damaging property and resisting arrest. It all resulted in his spending several hours in jail. The actor was in town for the Tree City Comic Con which is taking place this weekend October 17 and 18.

The police received a call around 9:30pm about a disturbance in a hotel lobby. That disturbance involved Brendon and hotel staff. When the police arrive the actor showed “signs of intoxication” and “repeatedly refused officers’ commands to stay seated while officers tried to speak with witnesses.”

Brendon then tried to walk away which resulted in his being arrested for resisting and obstruction. The actor is also accused of breaking a decorative dish and they asked to press charges. All of those are misdemeanors. He was released on a $600 bond after 6 a.m. on Saturday.

This isn’t the first time the actor has been arrested. In March 2010, he was arrested on similar charges. For that he received a 1-year suspended sentence and 36 months of probation and was ordered to perform state highway work for 10 days.
