LOS ANGELES: Authorities say former Glee star Mark Salling has been arrested in Los Angeles for investigation of possessing child pornography.

Police Officer Tony Im says the 33-year-old actor was taken into custody on December 29 after a warrant was served at his home in the Sunland area.

Representatives for Salling did not respond to requests for comment. Salling is best known for playing bad-boy Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman on TV’s musical dramedy Glee, which aired on Fox from 2009 until earlier this year.

He shared a Screen Actors Guild award with the cast in 2010, when they won for outstanding TV comedy ensemble. Salling is also a musician and released his debut album Pipe Dreams in 2010.
