Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander has been arrested at a US airport, posting a bizarre Instagram rant about the incident afterwards.
Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander was arrested for an alleged security violation Sunday at a Nashville airport, Page Six reports.
The 39-year-old – best known for being married to the Toxic pop star for 55 hours in 2004 – was temporarily taken into custody and charged with a misdemeanour, according to criminal court records.
Records also show his bail was set at $US2500 ($A3400).
A rep for the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Page Six on Tuesday that Alexander was “booked into jail on August 29 and released on August 30”.
He is due back in court on September 24.
The exact details of what transpired at the airport are not known, and a rep for the Metro Police Department – which handles airport arrests – was not immediately available for comment.
However, according to Radar Online, Alexander was arrested for allegedly trespassing into the “non-secure” area of the TSA and attempting to skip the line. He was reportedly then handcuffed and taken into a room for questioning.
In a rambling 25-minute Instagram Live Alexander called his arrest an “inconvenience”, saying in part that he ended “up in handcuffs because of something stupid”.
Recording the video while driving his car shirtless, he spoke about the “stupid arse virus” and ranted about vaccines.
“What’s happened to me should never happen to anybody,” he said.
“I did nothing wrong but I got freaking treated like … and still! With news articles being printed about the situation. This is f***ing gnarly, dude.”
This isn’t the first time this year that Spears’ ex has run into some legal trouble.
In February, Alexander was arrested on DUI and drug charges, including driving under the influence, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and possession or casual exchange of a controlled substance.
According to court records obtained by Page Six, those cases are still open.
Alexander’s lawyer did not immediately return the publication’s request for comment.
Although Alexander’s marriage to Spears, 39, was brief, he has still shown his support for the Overprotected singer amid her contentious conservatorship battle.
In August 2020, he was spotted at a #FreeBritney protest, which was staged to fight Jamie Spears against his control over his daughter’s finances.
“She definitely wants her dad out of the picture as far as the conservatorship,” Alexander said on Instagram Live at the time.
Divorce lawyer Mark Goldberg, who claims he advised Alexander amid his split from Spears, said the young couple didn’t want the nuptials annulled when they wed but did so because Britney’s mum, Lynne Spears, found out and “all hell broke loose”.
Britney and Alexander tied the knot at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in January 2004 after growing up together. The vows were annulled by a petition that stated the performer “lacked understanding of her actions”.
Alexander recently said on the Toxic: The Britney Spears Story podcast that he felt duped into signing the annulment papers.
“They told me if I would sign the contracts – the annulment – they would let me and Britney continue our relationship, and if we felt the same way in six months, they would give us a proper marriage,” he recalled. “So I had no reason to believe otherwise.”
