Fox News Digital reports that authorities responded to a call regarding a “family disturbance” over the weekend.

“The informant stated that a female adult alleged her husband pushed her and locked her out of their residence,” Lieutenant Adam Zeko said in a statement.

“Based on the initial investigation, deputies determined Michael Madsen was involved in a domestic incident involving his wife. Mr. Madsen was arrested for misdemeanor Spousal Battery,” Zeko added.

The 66-year-old actor was booked at the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s station in the early hours of the morning.

Zeko noted that the “investigation is ongoing and will be forwarded to the Van Nuys Superior Court House for filing.”

Madsen was released shortly after posting a $20,000 bond.

The actor could face up to one year in jail if found guilty, according to the outlet.

A representative for the Reservoir Dogs star told TMZ that the incident “was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, which we hope resolves positively for them both.”

Michael Madsen and his wife DeAnna tied the knot in 1996. The couple has three sons together: Hudson, Calvin, and Luke. Tragically, Hudson died in January 2022.

The Donnie Brasco actor also shares sons Christian and Max with ex-wife Jeannine Bisignano.
