SHREVEPORT, La., July 13 (UPI) -- Actor Josh Brolin, known for roles in movies such as "In the Valley of Elah," has been arrested in Louisiana for an alleged bar fight, police say.

A Shreveport police report alleges Brolin, actor Jeffrey Wright and five other individuals attempted to interfere with police officers responding to a call about a fracas at a downtown bar, Gannett Newspapers reported Sunday.

Ten officers eventually restored order at the bar, and charged Brolin and Wright with interfering with police. The actors were in the city filming scenes for producer Oliver Stone's film "W."

Detective Rod Demery said the duo's arrest Saturday was unusual as it resulted in a large amount of interest from nationwide media.

"I've heard from National Enquirer, 'Entertainment Tonight,' 'Extra,' the New York Post and a few other national outlets. Lots of people have called," Demery said.

Gannett Newspapers said after his arrest Brolin, 40, was released on a $334 cash bond.
