Paul Warner/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon on Monday posted an apology on Facebook following his recent arrest in Boise, Idaho, stemming from a disturbance in a hotel lobby.
The 43-year-old actor says he regrets disappointing his family, fans and himself, and that there is no excuse for his “unacceptable behavior.”
He then explains, “For the past 5 days, I have been taking prescription pain medication to help me manage a cyst behind my knee cap, which is scheduled for corrective surgery on Monday morning. I made the poor decision to mix this prescribed medication with alcohol. The result was embarrassing and unacceptable.”
Brendon says he intends to seek “appropriate treatment and therapy” for his medical ailments and “emotional demons.”
Brendon was arrested on a count of resisting and obstructing officers, as well as a count of malicious injury to property, at a Boise hotel on Friday night. Hotel staff accused him of breaking a decorative dish.
The actor was in town for the local Tree City Comic Con.
