A former Disney Channel star has taken to social media to explain the incident that led to his recent arrest.

As first reported by TMZ and confirmed by People, Wizards of Waverly Place actor David Henrie was arrested on Monday at Los Angeles International airport.

Per the officer, Henrie was booked into the LAPD Pacific Division Jail. He will be "released on his own recognizance."

Henrie took to Instagram to explain the situation.

"I take responsibility for the situation at LAX today. I unintentionally brought my legally-owned gun which is registered in my name to the airport. I am sorry for any trouble it caused, but I am appreciative of TSA's efforts in implementing safety laws that are in place to protect our beautiful country," wrote the TV actor. "More than anything I am humiliated and embarrassed that it even happened. But I am thankful for TSA, LAPD and all involved today for their kindness and professionalism during this process."

Henrie portrayed Selena Gomez's onscreen brother on the popular Disney Channel sitcom, which ran from 2007 to 2012.
