On his way back to the U.S., the former star of 'The Hills' was busted for felony possession of a firearm and was booked at a local jail before being released and banned from returning.

Spencer Pratt apparently spoke the truth of him getting arrested in Costa Rica. Claiming to have got a peek at the arresting document, TMZ confirmed that the estranged husband of Heidi Montag did get busted for felony possession of a firearm when he was on his way to return to the U.S. on Saturday, September 11.

According to TMZ, the papers filed did have Spencer's name on it. Written in Spanish, they contained such words as "guilty," "charged" and "prosecution". The site also noted that the former star of "The Hills" is listed as an actor. Heidi's name reportedly is included in the document as well. She is being listed as his spouse.

Spencer himself wrote in Twitter earlier, "Arrested in Costa Rica. If I knew the gov't was Team Jacob, I wouldve kept my mouth shut." He followed it up with another posting, "Costa Rican jail smells like children's tears. And soup. Delicious soup," before comparing himself to Lindsay Lohan, "Thanks to jail, I finally have something in common with Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and that Lohan chick!"

To TMZ, the 27-year-old reality star has released one bizarre statement that offered details over the situation surrounding his arrest. "As part of my spiritual cleansing I've spent the last week living alone in the jungle, reflecting on my past transgressions, and working to become a better person," he first explained.

"I had to live off the land, and hunt to survive," the statement read further. "As I departed the country this morning to continue my spiritual journey, I mistakenly brought my hunting weapons to the airport. It was an honest mistake, and they sent me on my way. On an unrelated note, I'm not allowed in the country anymore - but that's because of the chicken incident."
