Sandlot Star Tom Guiry Arrested for Head-Butting a Cop in the Face at Houston Airport

Actor arrested and charges with felony assault

Sandlot star Tom Guiry has been arrested for drunkenly head-butting a cop, E! News has confirmed.

Houston Police Department spokesperson John Cannon tells E! that the Houston Police Department was contacted by United Airlines at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport about a passenger that appeared to be too drunk to continue to their destination. Officers arrived on scene to find Guiry was indeed drunk.

The officer informed him that he could take a ride to Houston's newly established sobering center and not be charged with anything. Guiry became agitated and started making threats at the suggestion. A sergeant arrived on the scene and informed Guiry that if he continued to make threats, he would have more severe charges than just public intoxication.

The 31-year-old actor continued to threaten officers and was placed under arrest. While being detained, Guiry attempted to kick an officer in the face and was successful in head-butting an officer in the face. He was arrested without further incident and charged with felony assault of a public servant.

Guiry is most famous for his role as Scotty Smalls in the 1993 baseball movie The Sandlot.
