Reality star Spencer Pratt alerted the media today that he had been arrested at a Costa Rican airport for possessing an illegal firearm while on his spiritual path to syndication enlightenment. The Daily Mail says:

The eccentric 27-year-old was trying to leave the country when he was arrested for felony possession.

He was then taken to a local jail where he was booked and processed.

It was only after turning over the weapons and signing a confession with the DA that Pratt was released and allowed to leave Costa Rica.

And he claims it was all just an accident.

Spencer tells TMZ, ‘As part of my spiritual cleansing I’ve spent the last week living alone in the jungle, reflecting on my past transgressions, and working to become a better person. I had to live off the land, and hunt to survive. As I departed the country this morning to continue my spiritual journey, I mistakenly brought my hunting weapons to the airport. It was an honest mistake, and they sent me on my way.

On an unrelated note, I’m not allowed in the country anymore – but that’s because of the chicken incident.’

I don’t know what he was thinking bringing a cache of hunting weapons to the fucking airport. You can’t have more than 3.4 fluid ounces of shampoo in your bag or carry a bottle of soda onto a plane, oh, but sure, the crossbow’s cool. Just set it over there next to the propane tanks and the flamethrowers and the guy in the turban chanting “praise be Allah.”
