LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors charged actor Lou Diamond Phillips on Thursday with domestic battery in connection with an incident last month involving his live-in girlfriend.
Phillips, best known for his roles in “La Bamba” and “Stand and Deliver,” could face a maximum of one year in jail and a $2,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor charge. His arraignment was scheduled for Oct. 18.
According to police reports, the 44-year-old actor got into an argument with his girlfriend, and it escalated into a physical fight in the early hours of Aug. 11. His girlfriend, who was not identified in court documents, “was pushed and dragged across the house resulting in scrapes to both knees,” City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said in a statement.
The woman grabbed a phone, locked herself in a bathroom and dialed 9-1-1, Delgadillo said. Phillips was arrested and held for about 10 hours before being released.
A message left for Phillips’ publicist, Eddie Michaels, was not immediately returned. It was not immediately known whether Phillips had retained a lawyer.
In recent years, Phillips has made a number of guest appearances on TV, including “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “24.”
