Actress Sean Young got into a fight with a security guard at a post-Oscars party Sunday night and was promptly arrested.
Young, who starred in “Blade Runner” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” was placed under citizen’s arrest after the scuffle, police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.
“She was trying to get into the party and couldn’t get in,” he said.
Young was booked at the Hollywood police station on charges of alleged misdemeanor battery. She was released early Monday when she posted $20,000 bail.
TMZ reports that Young was standing near the entrance of the Governors Ball, snapping photos with friends. When security realized she didn’t have a ticket, they asked the actress to leave.
The website says that Young allegedly slapped one of the guards.
An Associated Press business executive witnessed Young being taken into custody. Tom Januszewski said a guard placed his forearm on Young’s neck and head while other guards put her in handcuffs.
“It happened incredibly fast,” he said. “I thought it was incredibly well-handled.”
The actress tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006. She entered rehabilitation for alcohol abuse in 2008 after she was removed from the Directors Guild of America awards.
