"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Nicholas Brendon was arrested in Boise, Idaho.

Brendon, who was in town to attend the Tree City Comic Con, was arrested by police at 10:40 p.m. Friday, according to an arrest report from the Ada County Sheriff's Office, reports people.com.

The 43-year-old was charged with two misdemeanour counts: malicious injury to property and resisting or obstructing officers.

Officers were called to a hotel after reports of a disturbance in the lobby involving Brendon and hotel staff, the Boise Police Department said in a statement.

Brendon "showed signs of intoxication and repeatedly refused officers' commands to stay seated while officers tried to speak to witnesses".

He was taken into custody after he repeatedly tried to walk away.

Hotel staff claim that Brendon broke a decorative dish, and police say that additional charges are possible after speaking with witnesses.
