Miles Teller has spoken out after reports that he was arrested for public intoxication hit the web on Monday. The actor adamantly denied that he was formally arrested.

"Went down to SD to see my buddy before he deployed," he tweeted. "I wasn't arrested I was detained (because) there was no evidence to charge me with a crime."

Teller was allegedly not cooperative upon arrival and was charged with public intoxication. He was then released after around four hours without bail.
