Robin Hood TV star Jonas Armstrong arrested for being drunk and disorderly in Lytham

The 40-year-old actor, who lives in the town, was arrested outside the Lytham House pub in Henry Street at around 10pm last night (Wednesday, August 25).

Lancashire Police said he was released after being hit with a £90 fine for disorder.

The Dublin-born star, who shot to fame in 2006 playing the title role in the BBC series Robin Hood, moved to the Fylde coast as a young boy and now lives in a £1 million house in Lytham.

He also had roles in Tom Cruise flick Edge of Tomorrow, hit police series Line of Duty, Channel Four comedy Teachers, and The Bay, which is set in Morecambe.

In a statement this morning, Lancashire Police said: "A 40-year-old man from Lytham was arrested on Henry Street in the town shortly after 10pm on Wednesday, August 25 on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.

"They were later given a penalty notice for disorder (£90)."

Lytham House has been approached for comment on the incident.

In 2016, Armstrong was arrested following an incident at the Mount Royale Hotel in York in the early hours of the morning. At the time, it was the actor's third alcohol related conviction.

He was alleged to have rowed with the hotel’s night porter, a man in his 60s, who claimed he was assaulted by the actor.

Armstrong had been filming in York alongside Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt for the TV mini series Dark Angel at the time of his arrest. Armstrong had to pay his victim £345 compensation.
