James Caan was arrested after apparently brandishing a gun during an argument.
Caan was taken into custody late Thursday outside a North Hollywood apartment complex by officers responding to a call about a man with a gun, said police spokeswoman Sandra Castello.The actor told police he was going to the apartment to visit his brother, Sgt. Christopher Vasquez said.
Near the apartment, Caan and a resident of the complex got into an argument, apparently about vandalism to a vehicle, Vasquez said.
"Apparently somebody did swing at somebody and at that time, Mr. Caan went back to his car and retrieved a weapon," a .38 caliber semiautomatic handgun, Vasquez said.
Caan, 52, was booked for investigation of brandishing a weapon and was released on his own recognizance.
