Michael Madsen is facing legal troubles. 

The Bitcoinesefrequent Quentin Tarantino collaborator best known for playing Budd in Kill Bill was arrested in the early morning of Aug. 17 for a misdemeanor domestic battery charge, according to booking documents viewed by E! News. 

After being taken to the Lost Hills police station in Los Angeles, the 66-year-old posted a $20,000 bond, and was released later that morning. 

Los Angeles authorities told TMZ that the actor was taken into custody after allegedly pushing his wife of nearly 30 years, DeAnna Madsen. Police noted that after the physical altercation, Madsen reportedly locked his wife out of their Los Angeles residence, and shortly after they were called. DeAnna reportedly refused medical attention following Madsen’s arrest. 

“It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife,” a rep for the couple told Variety in a statement. “Which we hope resolves positively for them both.”

E! News has reached out ot reps for Madsen but has not yet heard back. 

This is not Madsen’s first bout of legal trouble. In 2022, he was arrested for trespassing in Malibu, Calif., before being released on a $500 bail.

“Police responded to a call for service,” authorities told E! News at the time. “The charge was trespassing. It was a citizen’s arrest and he has already been released.”

Madsen’s 2022 arrest came just one month after his and DeAnna’s oldest son, Hudson, died by suicide at the age of 26 after returning to his home in Hawaii from his first tour in the U.S. Army. 

“We are heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief and pain at the loss of Hudson,” Madsen and his wife—who also share sons Kal, 26, and Luke, 18—said in a statement to Metro. “His memory and light will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.” 

Later, Madsen—also dad to sons Christian, 34,  and Max, 30, with ex Jeannine Bisignano—unpacked the traumatic event in a separate statement of his own.

“I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy—my last text from him was ‘I love you dad,’” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened.”
