Thomas looked to his ex-wife Tracy Dooley to post his bail, which was set at $1,500.
"I don’t want this to be embarrassing for Meghan," Tracy said after the incident. "Tom has had a little fame and publicity since Meghan started dating Prince Harry. He wants what’s best for her. He is so happy and proud for her," she claimed.
"They used to be very close but there has been some separation over the years. The last thing he would want to do is to hurt her."
