“General Hospital” alum Tyler Christopher, also known for his role as Nikolas Cassadine, was taken into police custody for public intoxication. The incident happened on November 11, which was also his 47th birthday. According to the jail records at Morgan County Jail, Christopher was held on $225 cash and $1,000 bond.
The actor’s mugshot, which circulated online, showed the actor’s unkempt appearance. He had a long and unruly beard. He’s wearing an orange shirt, which seems to have been provided by the jail where he was detained. It also seems like he had a bruise on his nose, which he may have acquired due to an altercation while he was intoxicated. It remains unclear whether he’s still being held or if he has been released already.
