Los Angeles: Reality TV star Spencer Pratt was arrested and later released in Costa Rica for illegal possession of a firearm.

"Costa Rican jail smells like children's tears. And soup. Delicious soup," people.com quoted Pratt as saying on microblogging site Twitter after news broke Saturday afternoon.

In a statement given to TMZ.com Pratt said, "As part of my spiritual cleansing I've spent the last week living alone in the jungle, reflecting on my past transgressions, and working to become a better person. I had to live off the land and hunt to survive."
