Michael Madsen was arrested in Malibu on Saturday morning on charges of domestic battery following “a disagreement between” the actor and his wife, DeAnna Madsen.
Authorities based at the Malibu/Lost Hill Sheriff’s Station responded to a call shortly after midnight on Aug. 17. The 66-year-old actor was arrested for domestic battery under Penal Code 243(e)(1), meaning force or violence was allegedly used against a cohabitant. The actor was booked at the Station at 1:40 a.m.
“It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, which we hope resolves positively for them both,” a representative for Madsen said in a statement to Variety. Madsen is no longer in custody after posting a $20,000 bond.
Madsen is best known as a regular star in the films of Quentin Tarantino. The actor made a splash in the director’s 1992 debut thriller “Reservoir Dogs,” which featured Madsen as Mr. Blonde, the live-wire criminal that famously danced to Stealer Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You” while mutilating a hostage police officer captured during a heist gone wrong.
