Edward FurlongEdward Furlong has been arrested. The Terminator 2 actor was jailed on Thursday on suspicion of once again violating a restraining order held by his ex-girlfriend, a Los Angeles Sheriff Department's spokesman has revealed.

The 35-year-old actor - who is best known for playing John Connor alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the action sequel - was found hiding in a nearby property when the cops arrived on the scene just before 7pm. He was released on Saturday after being held on $100,000 bail.

Edward has had several similar run-ins with the law in the past pertaining to both his ex-wife and his ex-girlfriend. The star was only recently released from prison after being sentenced to six months in jail in March for violating a 2010 restraining order banning him from contacting his estranged wife, Rachael Kneeland. Prior to that, he was arrested twice for using force against his ex-girlfriend Monica Keena. He was charged with misdemeanor battery in January at the same LA address, after which a court imposed the protective order.

Back in March, Edward's lawyer explained the actor could have avoided jail time altogether if he had accepted a deal to go to rehab for drug addiction. "We are hopeful that Mr. Furlong uses this experience, unpleasant as it may be, to revisit the issue of rehab when he is released," he said.
