The actor was taken to LAPD Pacific Division Jail where he has since been released with a future court date scheduled.

Henrie, who starred on Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place opposite Selena Gomez, apologized on Twitter for the incident.

"I take responibility for the situation at LAX today. I unintentionally brought my legally owned gun which is registered in my name to the airport. I am so sorry for any trouble it caused, but I am appreciative of TSA's efforts in implementing the safety laws that are in place to protect our beautiful country. More than anything I am humiliated and embarrassed that this even happened," Henrie said.

"But am thankful to the TSA, LAPD, and all involved today for their kindness and their professionalism during this process," he continued.
