A daughter of Hollywood actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis was arrested in New York City and jailed overnight for drinking a beer and giving police a fake identification card.

Scout Willis (20) appeared before a New York judge early yesterday and was charged with misdemeanour counts of criminal impersonation in the second degree and consumption of alcohol in a public place. She was released without bail and is due back in court on July 31st.

She was spotted by police on Monday morning drinking from a can of beer at a subway station near Union Square in Manhattan. The complaint said Ms Willis first gave police a New York state ID card with the name Katherine Kelly, then showed a California ID with her name.

Her lawyer Stacey Richman, said: “Everyone was her age once, and I don’t think this was the crime of the century.” – (Reuters)
