US Michael Madsen spent part of his weekend in jail after he was arrested for allegedly pushing his wife.
Authorities were alerted just after midnight on Saturday following a report from a woman claiming that “her husband pushed her and locked her out of the house,” as confirmed by the LA County Sheriff’s Department.
Madsen, known for his roles in various Quentin Tarantino films such as Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, was taken into custody in Malibu, California, on a misdemeanour charge.
He subsequently posted a bond of $20,000 (£15,300) and was released from detention.
“The investigation is ongoing and will be forwarded to the Van Nuys Superior Court House for filing,” the sheriff’s department said.
A representative for the 66-year-old told Variety: “It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, which we hope resolves positively for them both.”
Madsen and his wife, DeAnna, have been married for 28 years.
During his career, the actor has starred in the Free Willy film franchise as Glen Greenwood, the adoptive father of protagonist Jesse Greenwood.
He also appeared in Thelma & Louise and Donnie Brasco, as well as Die Another Day in the James Bond franchise.
