Shortly after Feldman's Twitter posts, the Mangham police released a detailed report of the incident, stating that the actor was initially arrested not because of marijuana but because of speeding. The report revealed that on Oct. 21, Officer Waters stopped an RV for speeding somewhere in Mangham, and when he made contact with the driver, he found out that it was Feldman. When he asked for his driver's license and discovered that it was suspended, he brought him to the Mangham Police Department, where the authorities smelled what appeared to be marijuana. However, Feldman was able to pay his fine and was therefore released.
