The legal proceedings against Michael Madsen have concluded.
In the past couple of years, actor Michael Madsen, famously known for his role in "Kill Bill," has had some legal issues. Most recently, he was under suspicion of domestic violence towards his wife. However, recent developments bring good news for the 66-year-old.
The investigation into Michael Madsen's alleged domestic violence has been dropped due to lacking evidence. The LA District Attorney's Office confirmed this to renowned news source "TMZ." His public representative expressed relief, stating, "We're glad that Michael Madsen can put this episode to rest and anticipate continuing our professional relationship with this seasoned and respected actor."
According to reports from US magazine "Variety" published on August 19, Madsen was apprehended by the police in Malibu over the weekend. He was accused of pushing his spouse, DeAnne Madsen. A spokesperson shared that it was a dispute between the couple, expressing hope for a positive resolution for both parties. After posting a $20,000 bond, Madsen was released from custody.
Previous encounters with the law
This incident is not the first time Madsen, who is known for his roles in Quentin Tarantino movies, has had an encounter with law enforcement. In February 2022, he was apprehended for trespassing on private property in Malibu. Officers led the now 66-year-old out of his residence in handcuffs following the trespassing allegations.
Before that, in 2019, Madsen spent four days in jail after causing a drunk driving accident. He was given a five-year probation sentence. He had previously been arrested for DUI in 2012 and completed a 30-day rehabilitation program as a result.
Madsen has been married to DeAnne since 1996, and they share three sons. Their eldest son tragically passed away in January 2022 at the age of 26.
The Hollywood Reporter published an article expressing relief following the dismissal of charges against Michael Madsen in his domestic violence case. Despite his recent legal troubles, Madsen's career continues to be associated with The Hollywood, known for its glamour and high-profile cases.
