Jonathan Rhys Meyers is Off the Hook

Another celebrity is off the hook!

Charges against Jonathan Rhys Meyers were dropped at Dublin District Court Wednesday after apologizing through his lawyer, Michael Staines, for being drunk and abusive at Dublin Airport last month.

His lawyer told the court his client’s behavior was “out of character” and that he wished to “unreservedly apologize” to airport security guards, police and staff at the British airline BMI.

Rhys Meyers, however, was given a legal caution** and also offered to make a sizable donation to to an unspecified charity. His mother died two days after the incident at the airport.

**A legal caution is a probationary action under which he could face harsher penalties if he behaves that way in public in Ireland again.
