Hollywood superstar Sean Penns teenaged son, Hooper Jack, 16, was arrested from school by the
Los Angeles police.
Jack, the actor's second child with estranged wife Robin Wright Penn, was taken into custody from his Malibu high school, said a report.
The authorities have declined to release any details about the arrest as the accused is a minor.
The news comes weeks after mother Robin filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences".
It was not the first time during their 12-year-long marriage that the couple had announced they were divorcing Sean, 49, first filed for divorce in December 2007. In April 2008, they made a request to have their divorce petition dismissed as they wanted to give their relationship another chance.
The couple have another son, Dylan Frances Penn, born in 1991.
