Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of late filmmaker Rob Reiner, became "extremely hostile" with deputies at a Los Angeles County jail on April 27, yelling and cursing after finishing a shower, according to OK Magazine. He was written up for violating jail rules and lost five days of privileges — including phone calls, visitation, and commissary access.
Reiner has been held at the Los Angeles County Twin Towers Correctional Facility since his December 2025 arrest in connection with the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Singer Reiner, according to MEAWW.
Shower Delay Sparked Yelling and Cursing Outburst
The incident began after Reiner finished a shower in his unit. Deputies did not escort him back to his cell right away. They were responding to an overdose involving another inmate, according to Wonderwall. Reiner grew frustrated during the wait and started yelling and cursing at staff, refusing to follow their commands.
The verbal disturbance took place in a specialized medical observation unit, where Reiner is housed alone, according to MEAWW. The altercation ended without reported physical violence, but deputies filed a formal disciplinary write-up against him shortly after.
Five Days of Lost Privileges as Punishment
As a result of the write-up, Reiner lost several standard inmate privileges for five days. Those included phone calls, visitation rights, and access to the commissary — the in-jail store where inmates can buy food and personal items — according to Myrtle Beach Online.
The disciplinary action is a standard response under jail rules for inmates who refuse to comply with staff orders. Reiner is said to have been returned to his cell after the situation was resolved, OK Magazine reported.
Mental Disability Diagnosis Led to Enhanced Monitoring
Medical staff at Twin Towers reportedly diagnosed Reiner with a mental disability. Because of that diagnosis, he has been placed under enhanced monitoring at the facility, according to Tri-City Herald. He is housed alone in the specialized medical observation unit, separate from the general jail population.
Twin Towers is known for housing inmates with medical and mental health needs. Reiner's placement there suggests authorities consider his mental health status a key factor in how he is managed, MEAWW reported.
Case Timeline: Arrest, Court Dates, and What Comes Next
Reiner was arrested in December 2025 following the deaths of his parents. His first court appearance came on December 17, 2025, according to OK Magazine. He has remained in custody without bail since then.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 15, Wonderwall reported. That hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. Reiner has now been behind bars for several months as the legal process moves forward.
