Cameron Reagan, son of conservative radio host Michael Reagan and grandson of former president Ronald Reagan, was arrested Thursday at his home in Southern California and charged with resisting arrest.

The family said Reagan, 31, inadvertently tripped a security alarm upon returning home early in the morning. When police responded, Reagan was "very uncooperative," Los Angeles Police Officer Bruce Borihanh told the Los Angeles Times.

Reagan was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and was held in lieu of $10,000 bail at Van Nuys Jail, police said.

A spokeswoman for Michael Reagan said when Cameron identified himself and reached for his wallet, officers "thought he was going for a gun."

"They tackled and arrested him," Kirsten Fedewa told CNN.

In 2001, Reagan was ordered by a judge to attend drug rehab and anger management after he was found with marijuana, the Times reported. Earlier, he was convicted of receiving stolen property and vandalism.
