The filmmaker of the controversial video that sparked protests across the Muslim world has been arrested in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Besseley Nakoula is in custody and is scheduled to make a court appearance in a federal court in Los Angeles.

The 55-year-old has been under investigation for violating probation terms after he was released from prison in 2011 for bank fraud.

Court records say he was banned from accessing the internet or using an alias without an officer's permission. (Source: BBC)
