A TV3 comedian has kept an airport stunt that went wrong from sullying his record.
Pulp Sport star Ben Boyce was filming an episode for a new series of Wanna-Ben last September when a skit involving someone dressed in a fake pilot's uniform at Auckland Airport turned serious.
Six men from the show - Boyce, Bryce Casey, Andrew Robinson, Daniel Watkins, Craig O'Reilly and Gregory Clarke - were arrested and charged under the Civil Aviation Act for providing false information in an attempt to gain access to a secure area.
Boyce was discharged without conviction when he appeared in Manukau District Court this morning.
He was told in May that if he paid the police $2000 reparation for their investigation and completed 75 hours community work then he could keep his record clean.
