Michael Madsen was arrested on Saturday and may be charged with domestic violence.
The “Reservoir Dogs” star spent part of his weekend in a Malibu/Lost Hills jail after he was arrested on suspicion of spousal assault, according to LA County Sheriff’s deputies.
Deputies responded to a residence in Malibu at approximately 12:15 a.m. Saturday “in reference to a domestic disturbance,” said Deputy Raquel Utley, a sheriff’s public information officer. “The informant stated that a female adult alleged that her husband pushed her and locked her out of their residence.”
Based on their initial investigation, deputies determined Madsen and his wife were involved in “a domestic incident” and he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor spousal assault, Utley said. He was transported and booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station.
Madsen, 66, was booked at 1:40 a.m. and released from custody at 9:12 a.m. after posting a $20,000 bond, according to online jail records.
The investigation is ongoing and will be forwarded to the Van Nuys Superior Courthouse for filing, Utley said.
A spokesperson for the “Kill Bill” actor declined to comment Tuesday when reached by The Times. His team told TMZ that Madsen had a “disagreement” with his wife DeAnna which “we hope will be resolved positively for both of them.”
Madsen, who has also appeared in the Quentin Tarantino films “The Hateful Eight” and “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” married Deanna in 1996 and they had three children: Hudson, Luke and Calvin. Hudson, who was Tarantino’s godson, died in 2022.
The actor has had several brushes with the lawespecially getting arrested in Malibu in 2019 on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI. He was also hospitalized in 2012 after being arrested suspicion of DUI and was arrested again the same year after getting into an argument with his son.
