Bare few weeks after his son died in suspected suicide, actor Michael Madsen has been arrested in Malibu, with three police cars escorting him first to the hospital and then to the police station.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Madsen was apprehended on Wednesday evening, Feb. 23, on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing,
He was booked just after midnight on Thursday, Feb. 24, with bail set to $500.
He was released from custody later on Thursday.
Deputies were called about 9 p.m. Wednesday to Madsen’s rented Malibu home in the 21000 block of Pacific Coast Highway, east of Las Flores Canyon Road, by the property’s owner, who detained the actor in a citizen’s arrest, according to the LASD.
The news comes just one month after Michael’s son, Hudson, was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
The late Hudson was the godson of legendary movie director Quentin Tarantino.
