WESTON, Fla. – Cuban-American actor William Levy was arrested Monday in Broward County, jail records show.
According to records, Levy, 44, whose full name is William Gutiérrez-Levy, was arrested in Weston by the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
4 p.m. report:
BSO deputies said they responded to Baires Grill, an Argentinian restaurant, located at 2210 Weston Rd., in reference to a disturbance that occurred at the restaurant just after 10 p.m.
Deputies said Levy, “who was highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance inside the restaurant, was given a trespass warning” and ordered not to return by the manager on duty.
Levy, who resides in Southwest Ranches, was also given multiple verbal orders to leave the restaurant by deputies but they said he was also ignoring their commands and was eventually placed into custody for trespassing.
He was booked into the Broward County Main Jail on charges of disorderly intoxication in a public place, causing a disturbance and trespassing.
He appeared in bond court Tuesday afternoon where a judge granted him a $500 bond.
5 p.m. report:
He was also ordered to stay away from Baires Grill.
He remained behind bars until Tuesday afternoon.
After his release, Levy said the initial feud didn’t even involve him.
“I was having a drink with one of my friends from the team, the baseball team, and they started arguing with another guy and I got in front him to try to deescalate the situation and I’m dealing with that,” he said.
Levy has acted in numerous telenovelas and also starred and appeared in various Hollywood flicks such as “Girls Trip” and Tyler Perry’s “Addicted.” He was also a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” in 2012.
The Levy family isn’t a stranger to Local 10 News.
Christopher Levy, the son of Matthew Levy, also made headlines in October 2020 when he was injured in a golf cart accident. He had been driving the cart when it flipped, leaving him pinned underneath.
Employees at Baires Grill declined to comment on Levy’s arrest.
