Fox News weekend host Gregg Jarrett was arrested and jailed Wednesday afternoon after an incident at a Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport bar.

Airport police responded just after noon on Wednesday to reports of an intoxicated man at the Northern Lights Grill in the central terminal. Authorities say Jarrett refused to follow orders and was arrested. Jarrett was released at 1:30 Thursday morning to $300 bond, and is expected in court on June 6.
