Kim Delaney, best known for her work on the police procedural “NYPD Blue,” was arrested in Southern California alongside her partner James Morgan over the weekend following an alleged incident of domestic violence.
Delaney, 63, and Morgan were apprehended by authorities Saturday morning after police were notified of a “domestic disturbance” at a Los Angeles residence, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department confirmed to USA TODAY on Sunday.
Following a preliminary investigation by deputies, Delaney was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, while Morgan was arrested on a charge of battery.
An investigation into the incident remains ongoing, according to authorities. Delaney and Morgan’s custody status is not known.
USA TODAY reached out to Delaney’s representatives for comment.
Delaney, who played Detective Diane Russell on “NYPD Blue” from 1995 to 2003, was previously married to actors Charles Grant and Joseph Cortese, the latter of whom she divorced in 1994. She shares a son, Jack, with Cortese.
Delaney gave a sweet shoutout to Morgan in October when the actress celebrated the couple’s “second wedding anniversary” on social media. She shared a selfie of the pair wearing matching hoodies, writing on Instagram, “Great memories! I love you, hubby-your wife for life.. 💚💍💚”
This isn’t the first time Delaney has run into legal troubles. The Emmy-winning actress was arrested in January 2002 on suspicion of drunk driving, according to Entertainment Weekly, after which she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to two years of probation and a defensive driving course, the magazine reported.
In 2003, Delaney checked herself into a rehabilitation clinic to address an alcohol addiction, People magazine reported at the time. Two years later, the actress lost custody of her 15-year-old son after allegedly forcing the teen to accompany her in the car while she drove under the influence, according to People.
