Michael Madsen was arrested Saturday and could face a misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.
The “Reservoir Dogs” star spent part of his weekend in a Malibu/Lost Hills jail after being arrested on suspicion of spousal battery, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s inmate records.
Deputies responded to a Malibu residence around 12:15 a.m. Saturday “regarding a domestic disturbance,” said Deputy Raquel Utley, the sheriff’s public information officer. “The reporting party stated that an adult female alleged that her husband pushed her and locked her out of their residence.”
Based on the initial investigation, officers determined that Madsen and his wife were involved in “a domestic incident” and he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor spousal battery, Utley said. He was transported and booked into the Malibu/Lost Hills Police Department.
Madsen, 66, was booked at 1:40 a.m. and released at 9:12 a.m. after posting $20,000 bail, according to online jail records.
The investigation is ongoing and will be sent to Van Nuys Superior Court for filing, Utley said.
A spokesman for the “Kill Bill” actor declined to comment Tuesday when contacted by The Times. His team told TMZ that Madsen had a “disagreement” with his wife DeAnna that “we hope will be resolved positively for both of us.”
Madsen, who also starred in Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” and “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” married Deanna in 1996 and they had three sons: Hudson, Luke and Calvin. Hudson, who was Tarantino’s godson, died in 2022.
The actor has had multiple run-ins with the law, most notably when he was arrested in Malibu in 2019 on suspicion of driving under the influence. He was also hospitalized in 2012 after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was arrested again that year after allegedly getting into a fight with his son.
