Michael Madsen arrested on domestic battery charge after alleged 'disagreement' with wife
Michael Madsen was arrested over the weekend following an alleged dispute with his wife.
Madsen, best known for his roles in crime thrillers such as “Reservoir Dogs” and the “Kill Bill” franchise, was arrested on Saturday by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, according to arrest records reviewed by USA TODAY.
In a statement to USA TODAY on Monday, Madsen's manager Ron Smith said the arrest stemmed from an alleged “disagreement” between Madsen and wife DeAnna, “which we hope resolves positively for them both.”
The 65-year-old actor was subsequently booked at LASD’s Malibu/Lost Hills station, where he was charged with domestic battery, a misdemeanor. He was later released after posting a $20,000 bond.
