Irish comedy writer Graham Linehan said Monday he was no longer under police investigation after his September arrest over social media posts drew international attention.

The "Father Ted" creator, 57, shared the update on X .

"The police have informed my lawyers that I face no further action in respect of the arrest at Heathrow in September. After a successful hearing to get my bail conditions lifted (one which the police officer in charge of the case didn't even bother to attend) the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped the case," he announced.

Linehan was arrested Sept. 1 by five armed officers on suspicion of inciting violence with three posts on X that criticized transgender activists.
