Tyler Christopher has been arrested for public intoxication for a second time.

The 50-year-old General Hospital alum was reportedly taken into custody on Friday, May 26 at the Hollywood Burbank Airport, per Entertainment Weekly.

When authorities arrived at the scene, they reportedly found Christopher sleeping on the ground near the American Airlines terminal. He was then arrested and fined $250.

According to TMZ, Christopher displayed clear and objective signs of intoxication, as he was unable to care for himself and is said to have told authorities that he had missed his flight.

A representative of Christopher's did not immediately respond to Parade's request for comment.

This marks the second time the Days of Our Lives alum was arrested for a similar situation. Back in 2019, Christopher was taken into custody on his 47th birthday on Nov. 11, and released two days later where he was ordered to pay a $440 fine.

An Uber driver had called the cops on him after he fell asleep in the driver's backseat and had appeared to urinate on himself.

According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ, cops requested that "the judge consider the possible sentence of a treatment facility for Tyler Christopher's alcohol issues, as well as consider restitution to [the Uber driver] for the damage to his vehicle from Tyler Christopher urinating in his back seat." However, the judge ultimately rejected that Christopher needed to be put into a treatment program for alcoholism.

Christopher appeared as Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital from 1996 to 2016. He also portrayed Stefan DiMera on Days of Our Lives from 2018 to 2019. His other TV credits include Charmed, Angel, The Pretender, The Division, and The Lying Game. He also appeared in the movies Face the Music, Out of the Black, Beyond the Lights, and Murder, Anyone?
