Hollywood actor Michael Madsen has reportedly been arrested for domestic violence.
The Reservoir Dogs star was arrested by police after allegedly chasing away his wife DeAnna Madsen, 64, and then locking her out of their Los Angeles-area home. TMZ claimed on Monday.
Madsen, 66, is also said to have spent part of his weekend in prison.
The Kill Bill actor was arrested shortly after midnight Saturday on suspicion of domestic violence, the site reported.
The situation appeared chaotic when police were called to the home, but by the time they arrived, his wife was “safe with a security team,” the site said.
However, the police still wanted to arrest the actor after speaking to him and his wife.
Michael married DeAnna in 1996. Together they have three children: Hudson, Luke and Calvin. Sadly, son Hudson passed away in 2022 from a gunshot wound.

Madsen has worked frequently with Quentin Tarantino, appearing in films such as 1993’s Reservoir Dogs (left) and 2003’s Kill Bill (right).
DailyMail.com has contacted Madsen’s spokesperson for comment.
This recent arrest was not Madsen’s first run-in with the law.
In 2022, the Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood actor was arrested for trespassing on a luxury home and was subsequently evicted, DailyMail.com reported.
It was a $5.3 million mansion in Malibu, just down the Pacific Coast Highway from La Costa Beach.
A source told DailyMail.com exclusively at the time: ‘Michael had been living in the house since last year, but the lease was in someone else’s name.’
DailyMail.com has learned that the house was rented out by another person and that there were thousands of dollars in back rent.
The owner had been trying to evict the tenants for the past two years, but due to the Covid moratorium on evictions, it took several months for the legal process to go through.

“The person who rented the house was taken to court and all parties were evicted, including Madsen on February 17,” the source added.
At around 8:30 p.m., the owner received a call from his vacation home’s security company reporting that someone was trying to break into the home.
The owner, who lives a few miles from the house, drove over and found Madsen on the porch.
The owner quickly called 911 and a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy arrived on the scene and arrested the disheveled Madsen for trespassing.
Wearing baggy jeans, a denim jacket and a partially unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, the Kill Bill star was taken first to West Hills Hospital and then to the police station.
According to booking documents, he was given a $500 fine for a misdemeanor and released shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday.
Since his arrest, the thrice-married Madsen and the property owner have reached an agreement that will allow him to get his assets back.
This recent arrest wasn’t Madsen’s first run-in with the law. In 2022, he was arrested for trespassing at a luxury home from which he was evicted, DailyMail.com reported. It was a $5.3 million Malibu mansion, just across the Pacific Coast Highway from La Costa Beach.
Madsen has had a terrible start to 2022.
His arrest came just a month after his son, U.S. Army Sgt. Hudson Madsen, shot himself to death on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he was stationed with the 25th Infantry Division. Hudson was an Afghan war veteran.
Hudson died a week after his wife Carlie underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her breast.
“I am shocked because my son, who I spoke to 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.”
Madsen said his son’s marriage was going “well” and that he recently completed his first tour of duty in the U.S. Army.

“He had the typical life challenges that people have with finances, but he wanted a family. He was looking to his future, so it’s mind-boggling. I just can’t fathom what happened.”
Madsen has requested a full military investigation into his son’s death. The actor believes “the officers and men shamed Hudson” for seeking therapy. He believes this prevented him from seeking help for mental health issues he kept to himself.
In 2019, the actor was fired from a $100,000 role in the film Confessions of a Serial Killer after crashing his Land Rover into a pole and subsequently being arrested for drunk driving. He was later sentenced to four days in jail.
In 2012, he was also arrested for DUI, for driving recklessly. However, he was offered a plea deal, which required him to attend AA meetings instead of a more severe sentence.
However, when Madsen failed to appear at court-ordered Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, his probation was revoked.
