Sandler Pal Popped for Pap Fight

Posted Mar 25th 2008 2:08AM by TMZ Staff

Allen CovertUPDATE: Covert was arrested by LAPD and taken to the Wilshire Division police station, but he was not booked. LAPD tells us the matter is still under investigation.

Allen Covert, who has co-starred in over a dozen movies with Adam Sandler, was arrested on the set of his latest Sandler collaboration after he got into it with a photographer.

Covert was arrested by the LAPD at around 6:00 PM PT on the set of "Bedtime Stories." He was charged with battery and was eventually released.

We're told Covert approached the pap -- who was on the sidewalk outside the high school where they were filming -- argued with him, spat on him and tried to slap the camera out of his hand. Covert was upset because he thought the photographer was filming his kid.

We're also told Sandler was on set at the time with his daughter. Guy Pearce and Courteney Cox-Arquette also star in the movie and were there as well and saw the whole thing go down.

31. He was the lead character in Grandma's Boy. I never watch a movie twice, but I've seen that one like 20 times. I know every scene by heart and I laugh my a** off every time.

33. THIS PAP GUY IS DISGUSTING. HE GOES ON SETS AND TRIES TO PICK A FIGHT ALL THE TIME. HE WAS STICKING HIS VIDEO CAMERA THROUGH A WINDOW INSIDE A BUS WHERE COVERT AND SANDLER'S KIDS WERE PLAYING. HE WAS OBNOXIOUS. THERE SHOULD BE LIMITS ON WHAT THESE PAPARAZZI CAN GET AWAY WITH.

34. there is mention of him protecting his child from the paps. A man watching over his child, wish more women would consider doing that for their own.

38. Grandma's Boy is funniest movie ever. It is a cult classic, and is always sold out at Best Buy. You will memorize lines. [And Peter Dante is great.]

FYI, paparazzi are horrible in LA. I can't stand most celebs, but no one deserves this.

39. I HOPE THAT AS HE WAS BEATING UP THE PAP HE WAS SAYING "WHO WANTS A PIECE OF THE GREY BEARD!?!?"
