A Picture of Scotty T brandishing a gun has emerged after he was arrested for a firearms offence.
In the Snapchat picture, the Geordie Shore star can be seen on top of a car as he holds the rifle and stares down the barrel as he points it down the street.
The image is captioned: “Scotty sniper.”
It was taken down from his social media page but has since reemerged online.
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner was arrested and taken into police custody on Monday and admitted to being in possession of an “air weapon” in public.
Police searched his apartment before he was taken to a Newcastle police station where he was given a caution for his actions.
A police spokesperson said: “On Monday, May 30, a 28-year-old man was arrested and given a caution for possession of an air weapon in a public space.”
A representative for Scott told heatworld: “This was meant to be a mindless piece of fun, but Scott realises how foolish it was and apologises for wasting police time.
“Scott complied with police but was cautioned and released.”
The caution will remain on his criminal record and may cause problems for him if he wants to travel abroad, and for work.
He was seen leaving the police station in the early hours of Monday morning and appeared to refer to the incident on Twitter.
He wrote: “Well that was a horrendous 6 hours.”
