Comedian free to go

COMEDIAN and television presenter Wil Anderson has been released without charge after his arrest at a regional NSW airport, saying it was based on a misunderstanding.

The 43-year-old was arrested on Saturday afternoon, after police were called to the NSW airport over a “disruptive passenger”, and was held for several hours before being released to perform at Wagga Wagga Civic Centre. Anderson said outside the show he was “confident and happy that the whole thing was based on a misunderstanding and I think we’re going to sort it all out”.

“I have a sore back and I was up and about pacing and there was a misinterpretation of my intentions in my pacing – I was just trying to stretch out my back,” Anderson, who has osteoarthritis, said.
