An erroneous police report naming Harrison Ford as being arrested was the result of a rookie cop mistake during a training session, it has emerged.
The incident - involving a 73-year-old man Harrison Ford - was filed in California's Huntington Beach Police Department Arrest Log, but police had no record of the arrest, other than the online entry.
According to the database, Ford was arrested last week for 'inflicting corporal injury on spouse/cohabitant' and possession of a controlled substance, TMZ reported.
The trainee probably submitted it and didn't want to look stupid so he/she neglected to say anything. Or just did it completely by accident. A mess either way.
