The casino's security soon found the situation, after which they notified the police and Lopez was taken into police custody, according to reports.
As reports go, luck still looks to be on his side after all that has passed as no charges have been filed against the star. Lopez has been in custody to sober up and has been subsequently released with no charges.
Despite all these occurrences, the comedian was brave enough to joke in a statement to PEOPLE and said that he has a perfectly good explanation. "Tied one on last night. Not feeling great this morning," he says. "I was trying to sleep it off, unfortunately, it was on the casino floor."
TMZ reports that prior to Lopez's arrest, the Saint George star had performed at the casino earlier in the evening and performed another one Friday night.
This arrest after passing out in a Canadian casino seems to be a first for George Lopez. Let's just hope there isn't a second one, as these things cannot always be explained with a joke and hope that each time things turn out favourable.
