Uh oh. Anne Hathaway's boyfriend is in big trouble with the law, and the scandal has reduced her to tears.

Italian property developer Raffaelo Follieri was arrested yesterday and charged with trying to pass a bad check, reportedly for about $250,000. Reports say Anne broke down when cops went to her Manhattan home looking for Follieri.

Last year, Follieri, 29, was slapped with a lawsuit accusing him of spending millions in business funds to support a lavish lifestyle.

Anne, 25, has admitted she's no saint either. Last year, she told U.K.'s Sunday Times, "We've all done things we shouldn't, it's just I did stuff at college, when nobody knew about it." She also said Follieri helped turn her life around, explaining, "He's brought out so many positive attributes. Before I met him, I wasted so much time."
