Josh Brolin has been arrested for public intoxication.

The Men In Black 3 star was partying with friends in Santa Monica on New Year's Day, but the celebrations ended when he was booked by cops just before midnight and released at 7:14 the following morning.

Friends insisted he merely "ended up having too much fun."

A source told gossip website TMZ he was not given a citation for the arrest, which means he won't face any charges.
