Edward Furlong has been arrested. Stop us if you've heard this one.

This time, police say the troubled Terminator 2 star blew off a restraining order, got into a verbal altercation with his former girlfriend, and got popped.

His ex called the cops from her West Hollywood home.

When law enforcement personnel arrived at the residence, they apparently found the 35-year-old Furlong hiding under a stairwell near the property.

Furlong was taken into custody for violating the restraining order (a felony), which is in place because he has (twice) been arrested for girlfriend shoving.

He is currently being held on $100,000 bail.

“I never forgot one moment of what Michael did,” he said. “but I was psychologically unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.”

Asked to spell out what that means, he didn't hesitate.

The choreographer claims that the King of Pop "performed sexual acts on him and forced me to perform sexual acts on him" when he was a child.
