Hanna was booked into the Palm Beach County jail on a grand theft of emergency medical equipment charge, records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
Hanna went before a Palm Beach County judge Friday morning, where he seemed upset about the bond he'd have to pay to be released.
"Question, before I leave, where do you expect me to get $2,500 bucks from?" he asked the judge, who responded that he didn't know. "You don’t care or you dont know?"
"I don’t know," the judge responded.
