Brendon sorry for hotel arrest

Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Nicholas Brendon has apologised for actions that led to his arrest in a hotel lobby in southwest Idaho.

Brendon, known for playing Xander Harris on the hit show that ran from 1997 to 2003, said Monday on Facebook that he erred by mixing prescribed medication and alcohol.

Brendon was participating in the Tree City Comic Con at a Boise expo center.

Boise officers took the 43-year-old actor into custody after responding to a disturbance at 9.30 pm Friday. Brendon faces misdemeanor charges of resisting officers and malicious injury to property.

Police say Brendon showed signs of being intoxicated and refused to remain seated while officers spoke with witnesses. Hotel officials say Brendon broke a decorative dish and they want to press charges.
