New details have emerged from a source in the NYPD, who confirms to In Touch that Alec Baldwin was given two summonses after he was caught riding his bicycle in the wrong direction.
“He was stopped by officers for riding the wrong way on a street. When the officers asked for ID, he got belligerent because he had none on him,” the source explains. “The officers placed him under arrest for disorderly conduct.”
The source adds he was given one summons for riding the wrong way and another for disorderly conduct. He has since been released.
However, a source close to Alec has denied any alleged charges.
“He was not arrested or charged with a crime. He has been released.”
