On the same evening, the star tweeted out to his folowers that he would be in L.A. and asked if anyone would be around.
A photo seems to show the 63-year-old in handcuffs alongside police officers, but he was not cited for the incident, according to law enforcement in this area.
The accident is still under investigation. Law enforcement told TMZ that drugs and alcohol were not a factor.
Beverly Hills police did not immediately return a Daily News request for comment.
