Kim Delaney, best known for her award-winning role as Detective Diane Russell in the gritty TV series "NYPD Blue," was arrested over the weekend in connection with an alleged domestic disturbance. Deputies responded to the scene in the 14000 block of Marquesas Way in Marina Del Rey, as reported by CBS News Los Angeles.
Both Delaney and her partner, James Morgan, were arrested on Saturday morning. The Sheriff's Department's statement read, "Mrs. Kim Delaney was arrested for an assault with a deadly weapon and Mr. James Morgan was arrested for battery." Court records indicate that Morgan was released on a $20,000 bond, whereas Delaney remained in custody with no bail listed as of Sunday, detailed in a separate report by NBC News. The pair is scheduled to appear in court at the LAX Courthouse on Tuesday.
Digging into the past, Delaney's illustrious career spanned multiple television shows, including "CSI: Miami," "Law & Order," and "Army Wives." She won a Primetime Emmy Award in 1997 for her role on "NYPD Blue" and has also been a familiar face on soap operas like "All My Children" and "General Hospital," as pointed out by CBS News Los Angeles.
However, this is not the first time Delaney has had a run-in with the law; a previous arrest for drunken driving occurred in 2002, and she faced legal issues in 2024 for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident involving a motorcyclist, according to TMZ. Details of the alleged incident leading to Delaney's latest arrest have not been fully disclosed, and representatives for Delaney had not immediately responded to requests for comment at the time of the reports.
