Nick Offerman revealed that he and his friends in college had an unexpected encounter with police while they were high on marijuana.
The actor, who stars as the president in Alex Garland’s “Civil War,” told Jimmy Kimmel that he and his pals were smoking weed behind a community theater late one night when flashlights appeared by a nearby creek.

“And we realized it was police and so we began to tiptoe away and they gave chase and we wisely ran,” Offerman told Kimmel on Tuesday.
“And they tackled us and an incredibly tough, diminutive woman who I think may have been Holly Hunter. I couldn’t tell because she had her boot on my head and she had her gun on me.”
Offerman said it “suddenly got incredibly real” after police tackled him and his buds in the parking lot before they learned that a restaurant up the creek was robbed of “a bunch of cash.”
“And they naturally saw these kids running and we spent the whole night in jail. And the thing is we were just these innocent, dumb theater kids and we were saying, ‘No, we were just out there smoking and talking, officer,’” the actor said.
