Husband of NYPD Blue Star Kim Delaney Arrested Following Marina del Rey Disturbance
James Morgan, the husband of acclaimed actress Kim Delaney, has been taken into custody by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies following multiple noise complaints at their Marina del Rey apartment complex. The arrest occurred on Sunday after authorities responded to at least three separate calls reporting a verbal disturbance and noise violation in a public area of the building.
Escalating Situation Leads to Arrest
According to official reports from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the situation escalated quickly when deputies arrived at the scene. Morgan was arrested based on recorded phone calls and his refusal to cooperate with the investigation. He faces charges of obstructing, resisting, or delaying a public officer, as well as disturbing the peace with loud and unreasonable noise.
Morgan was processed at the Marina del Rey Sheriff's Station and remains in custody according to entertainment news outlet TMZ. Representatives for Kim Delaney have been contacted for comment regarding the incident, but no public statement has been issued at this time.
History of Legal Troubles for the Couple
This recent arrest adds to a growing list of legal issues for the couple. Just last year, both Delaney and Morgan found themselves in handcuffs following a dramatic domestic dispute. The incident began when Delaney, 64, called authorities accusing Morgan of domestic violence, but the situation took an unexpected turn when Morgan presented deputies with video evidence allegedly showing Delaney attempting to run him over with her car.
The confrontation resulted in both parties being arrested - Delaney for felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury and Morgan for misdemeanor domestic violence. Following medical clearance for both individuals, they were transported to jail, though prosecutors ultimately declined to file charges due to insufficient evidence.
Legal Proceedings and Celebrity Background
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed last year that "our office has declined to file charges against Kim Delaney and James Morgan due to insufficient evidence." This decision came after what appeared to be a serious domestic altercation that required paramedic response to assess potential injuries.
Kim Delaney remains best known for her Emmy-winning performance on the groundbreaking television series NYPD Blue, where she starred alongside Dennis Franz. Her extensive career includes significant roles in All My Children, Army Wives, and appearances in popular series like Philly and CSI: Miami.
The ongoing legal challenges for the couple continue to draw public attention, particularly given Delaney's high-profile career and the couple's residence in the upscale Marina del Rey community. As the investigation into Sunday's incident continues, authorities have not indicated whether additional charges might be filed or when Morgan might be released from custody.
