Edward Deezen, the actor best known for portraying geeky Eugene Felsnic in the 1978 movie "Grease," was arrested Thursday in LaVale, Maryland, for resisting arrest after he reportedly became disorderly at a restaurant and threw items, including food, at sheriff's deputies.
Deezen was asked to leave the LaVale restaurant by staff and would not, prompting the law enforcement response, the Allegany County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
Deezen was "yelling loudly and disturbing other customers inside" and eventually, police said, "had to be forcefully removed from the bench seat/table area" where he had holed up.
The actor "threw numeous items at deputies which included plates, bowls and food," according to the sheriff's department's news press release. One item reportedly struck a deputy.

This fellow was all over low-brow’80s TV and movies as the central-casting nerd. Sorry to see that life isn’t going particularly well for him.
Hi role in “1941” was brilliant.
That was a good movie.
No reason for him to act like that.
I know where LaVale is. Right after Cumberland on 68.
Eugene is cruisin’ for a bruisin’
Don’t forget “1941” with John Belushi and Slim Pickens.
His best role was in “Laser Blast,” a movie so good it was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

He played his part in “War Games” very well.
Yes, it’s basically Cumberland.
I want to know which restaurant.

Not wearing his mask? No passport?
Off his meds? Or perhaps just having a really bad day.
“1941” was big time funny! Such a great movie
Probably a Bob Evans.
Exactly, I had a flat tire there a few years ago. Not many good tire stores in La Vale.
I suspect you had to go to Cumberland.
If it was a Bob Evans, it was justified
Huh. Never saw that movie. Guy looks like a true oddball, though.
