Cuban-American actor William Levy was arrested in Weston, Florida, on Monday, April 14, 2025, on charges of disorderly intoxication in a public place and trespassing. The incident occurred at Baires Grill, an Argentinian restaurant, where Levy allegedly caused a disturbance. According to the arrest report, Levy was “highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance inside the restaurant” and was given a trespass warning by the manager. Despite multiple verbal orders from deputies to leave the premises, Levy refused to comply and was subsequently arrested.
Levy was booked into the Broward County Main Jail and faced two misdemeanor charges: disorderly intoxication in a public place and trespassing on occupied property. During a court appearance on Tuesday, his bond was set at $250 per charge. He was released on bond later that day. The 44-year-old actor, known for his roles in telenovelas and English-language films, has since spoken out about the incident, denying that he was physically aggressive or that the altercation began over a refusal to pay his bill.
This arrest comes nearly a year after Levy’s estranged wife, Elizabeth Gutiérrez, confirmed that the couple had separated after 20 years together. The split was preceded by several reported domestic disputes involving the couple, with concerns raised about Levy’s drinking habits. Despite the legal troubles, Levy maintains that his priority remains his two children, Christopher and Kailey.
Levy’s career includes notable roles in telenovelas such as “Sortilegio” and “La Tempestad,” as well as appearances in Hollywood films like “Girls Trip” and “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.” He also competed on season 14 of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2012. The actor’s arrest has drawn attention from fans and media alike, highlighting the challenges faced by public figures in maintaining personal and professional balance.
As Levy awaits further legal proceedings, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior, especially in public settings. It also underscores the need for individuals to address and manage personal issues to avoid legal and public repercussions.
