Bill Skarsgård was arrested after being caught with marijuana at an airport in Sweden, RadarOnline.com has learned. The incident happened in October but is just making headlines now that the 33-year-old It actor was sentenced for the crime.
The actor, 33, was allegedly caught with 2.43 grams of cannabis at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm in October.
Stephen King's leading man was allegedly busted with 2.43 grams of cannabis at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm roughly four months ago, and according to law enforcement sources, he was handed his sentence on Wednesday after allegedly pleading guilty.
Skarsgård will avoid jail time, probation, or parole — but he was hit with a four-figure fine.
Alexander Skarsgård's little brother plead guilty to the crime and was hit with a hefty fine.
The actor was ordered to pay 40,000 Swedish krona as his punishment, reported TMZ. When converted to USD, the amount is approximately $3,821. It's basically a slap on the wrist because once he hands over the fine, the arrest will be behind him.
