Salling, 33, who played brash high school football player Noah
"Puck" Puckerman on the Fox network series about an unlikely school
choir, was taken into custody in the Sunland neighborhood north of
Los Angeles, LAPD spokeswoman Liliana Preciado said.
He was being booked into a downtown Los Angeles jail, she said.
Salling was arrested by officers serving search warrants for
Internet possession of child pornography, according to the
spokeswoman. Preciado said she had no further details on the case,
which will be turned over to prosecutors to decide whether to bring
any formal charges against the actor.
With its diverse cast of characters and energetic cover versions of
pop, rap and Broadway songs, "Glee" debuted in 2009 and grew into a
huge hit worldwide, winning multiple Golden Globe, Emmy and Teen
Choice awards for its cast, writers and directors. The series ended
in March 2015 with the characters grown up and leading adult lives.
Salling, a native of Dallas, was nominated for Teen Choice awards in
2010 and 2011 but failed to win.
Salling's representatives were not immediately available for
comment.
