Michael Madsen was arrested on Wednesday night at his Malibu home.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the outlet that the actor, 64, was cuffed around 9 p.m. for trespassing.
Madsen, dressed in loose-fitting jeans, a Harley Davidson denim jacket and a partially unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, was spotted leaving his house in handcuffs.
Police led him to West Hills Hospital before transferring him to a police station. He reportedly was given a $500 citation and released from custody around 7 a.m. on Thursday.
Authorities told the Daily Mail that a Malibu property owner tried performing a citizen’s arrest on Madsen before calling 911 for assistance.
Police would only release that there was a trespassing incident, but wouldn’t elaborate on the details.
The “Reservoir Dogs” star’s run-in with the law comes just a month after his 26-year-old son, Hudson, died by suicide. Authorities previously confirmed that the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
