Kim Delaney, an actor known for NYPD Blue and Army Wives, has been arrested and charged with felony assault, according to a new report.
Police and paramedics responded to a domestic disturbance call at Delaney’s home in Los Angeles around 10 a.m. local time after an argument between Delaney and her partner, James Morgan, turned violent, law enforcement told sources told TMZ.
After they were medically cleared, Delaney was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury, and Morgan was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, TMZ adds.
Delaney has had prior brushes with the law. In 2002, she pleaded no contest to a reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to two years of probation, fined $300, and ordered to complete a safe-driving course, per Entertainment Weekly. She checked herself into rehab the following year, the magazine added.
Then, in 2024, Delaney was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and a Mothers Against Drunk Driving program as a diversion following an alleged hit-and-run incident in 2022, according to RadarOnline.com.
