A former Kentucky governor was arrested on an active warrant Thursday while working as an extra on a Christmas movie set, authorities said.
The former state executive, Matt Bevin, served as governor of Kentucky from 2015 to 2019.
Officers with the Bourbon County police arrested Bevin in Paris, Kentucky, according to Louisville Public Media.
The former governor was working as a background extra for The Greatest Christmas Gift of All, Louisville Public Media reported.
The holiday project is a Great American Family Christmas movie starring Danica McKellar.
The arrest did not involve allegations connected to the movie production. Instead, officers acted on an outstanding warrant stemming from a domestic court matter, records show.
