“NYPD Blue” actress Kim Delaney and her partner will not face criminal charges following their arrests over the weekend.
A Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY on Tuesday that it declined to file charges against Delaney and James Morgan “due to insufficient evidence.”
“Based on a review of the evidence to date, the District Attorney’s Office has not filed charges against Kim Delaney or James Morgan,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement provided to USA TODAY. “Should additional evidence or witnesses emerge during the course of the investigation, this decision may be reconsidered.”
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s inmate records, Delaney was released from jail Tuesday morning, three days after she was detained for a suspected felony. The reason for her release was insufficient grounds for filing a criminal complaint.
Morgan, who was booked for a suspected misdemeanor, was released on a $20,000 bond on Saturday.
On Saturday morning, Delaney and Morgan were apprehended after deputies were notified of a “domestic disturbance” at a Marina Del Rey residence, LASD confirmed to USA TODAY on Sunday.
Following a preliminary investigation, Delaney was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, while Morgan was arrested on a battery charge.
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.
