Actor Michael Madsen was released from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department custody Thursday following his arrest in Malibu on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing.
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.
Deputies took Madsen to West Hills Hospital, though he was not reported to have suffered any injuries. He was then taken to the sheriff’s Malibu/Lost Hills Station, where he was issued a $500 citation and released about 6:45 a.m. Thursday, according to LASD jail records.
Madsen’s arrest comes about a month after the death of his son Hudson — a U.S. Army soldier — was found with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii on Jan. 25.
Madsen, 64, is best known for his roles in Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill.”
