Notorious hothead Alec Baldwin was arrested in New York City today… Just not for anything you’d likely anticipate (i.e. cursing at a cabbie, breaking a paparazzo’s camera). Nope. Alec was hauled off to the police station in handcuff for riding his bike the wrong way down the road.

According to CBS New York, Alec was riding his bike the wrong way down Fifth Avenue shortly after 10 this morning. Cops pulled him over. Alec didn’t have identification on him and — this is where it starts to sound familiar — got belligerent with officers. After his outburst, eyewitnesses told InTouch he calmly got in the back of the police car.
NYPD sources report he was taken to a nearby police precinct and issued summons for riding the wrong way and disorderly conduct.
UPDATE After his release from custody, Alec quickly took to Twitter to continue his rant…
Officer Moreno, badge number 23388, arrested me and handcuffed me for going the wrong way on Fifth Ave

Meanwhile, photographers outside my home ONCE AGAIN terrified my daughter and nearly hit her with a camera. The police did nothing.

New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign.

Sounds like it’s time for him to make that move to Los Angeles…
