What cause was Daryl Hannah willing to get busted for this time?

The Splash star was arrested today in Texas on suspicion of criminal trespassing and, ironically, resisting arrest while protesting construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, E! News has confirmed.

This was her second time her opposition to the proposed pipe, meant to ferry crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast, has landed her in custody. She was also one of a group of protesters arrested in August 2011 in Washington, D.C.

Hannah was taken into custody by Wood County Sheriff's deputies along with 78-year-old Eleanor Fairchild, whose Winnsboro farm, about 100 miles east of Dallas, falls along the construction route.

According to authorities, she and Hannah was standing in front of heavy equipment that had been hauled onto Fairchild's property when they were arrested.

The actress' manager, Paul Bassis, told Texas' Fox 44 that Hannah has "always been sympathetic to Texas landowners who oppose the government taking their land for pipeline pathways." 

Hannah was ultimately released on her own recognizance, according to booking information from the Wood County Sheriff's Office.
