Busto’s arrest comes two days after he interrupted Barrymore’s event at 92NY in New York, to which he rushed the stage she was on, catching Barrymore off guard and forcing security to intervene. The “Poison Ivy” star and Reneé Rapp, whom Barrymore was interviewing during the Q&A session, were unharmed as they were escorted off stage. They later resumed their conversation after Busto was escorted out.
