Kim Delaney, an award-winning actress who once played a police officer on TV, has just been arrested on felony assault charges.
The one-time star of the 1990s and early 2000s TV show “NYPD Blue” was arrested on Saturday.
The Emmy-winning TV star was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon.
She was arrested after a dispute with her husband, James Morgan, turned physical.
Police were called to respond to a domestic disturbance at Delaney’s residence on Saturday morning.
After investigating the disturbance, police arrested both Delaney and Morgan..
Morgan was charged with battery in the incident.
According to TMZ, paramedics also responded to check whether injuries had resulted.
However, both were medically cleared at the scene.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Delaney is still in custody.
Morgan, meanwhile, posted $20,000 bail on Saturday.
Aside from “NYPD Blue,” Delaney also appeared in “CSI Miami,” “Philly,” “Army Wives,” “The OC,” and the soap opera “All My Children.”
For her portrayal of Detective Diane Russell in “NYPD Blue,” she was awarded a 1997 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
This isn’t her first time on the other side of the thin blue line, however.
Delaney was arrested in 2002 in Malibu for drunk driving.
She spent time in rehab for alcohol abuse the next year.
In 2024, a motorcyclist sued Delaney for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in L.A.
Morgan and Delaney celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October.
At the time, Delaney captioned a photo of Morgan hugging her, “A beautiful 2nd wedding anniversary!!! 10/11.
“And now, anniversary weekend! Great memories!
“I love you, hubby – your wife for life.”
Just two weeks ago, Delaney posted a cozy social media photo of the two cuddled up together with the caption: “Pure love.”
While it’s possible that this is the first time the couple’s interactions have turned physical, that’s not usually the case by the time law enforcement gets involved.
It wasn’t clear whether Delaney was defending herself against Morgan or whether she was the aggressor.
She is likely still detained because of her prior criminal history and the seriousness of the charge against her.
