Actor Gareth Hedlund was arrested on charges of public intoxication Saturday night in Franklin County, Tennessee - just a day after it was announced they were splitting from actress Emma Roberts.

The 37-year-old actor was taken into custody after the incident, but was released on a $ 2.100 bond and will have to return to court in March.

The information comes just one day after the announcement of the separation of the actor from "Tron" from the actress Emma Roberts. According to the tabloids, the couple separated a few weeks ago after almost three years together. The news of the separation comes three weeks after the couple celebrated the first birthday of baby Rhodes.

The couple was first romantically linked in May 2019, and then announced that they were expecting a child in August 2020. Their son Rhodes was born in December of that year.

The reported arrest of Hedlund on charges of intoxication follows a separate legal dispute involving the actor.

It was announced on Friday that a mother and daughter were suing Hedlund for negligence after he collided with their car while driving under the influence in January 2020. According to rumors, the mother and daughter claim that they were "seriously" injured as a result of a "terrible direct accident", and say that there were two minors in the car with them.

Hedlund's blood alcohol level was tested at 3,6 per mille - four times higher than allowed.

The actor was arrested on two counts of driving under the influence after the incident and released on bail with a court date scheduled for February 2020, according to court documents. The actor pleaded not guilty and was found guilty on one count, while the second charge was dropped. The mother and daughter are seeking punitive damages and a jury trial.

After the accident, Hedlund completed a 30-day home treatment program and a nine-month counseling program for the first alcohol and drug offender.
