Kim Delaney will face charges in relation to her recent arrest on suspicion of felony assault, a representative for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirms with PEOPLE.
The NYPD Blue alum, 63, was arrested on a charge of felony assault with a deadly weapon while her husband James Morgan was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence for the March 29 incident, a Marina Del Rey Sheriff’s Station spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE the following day.
On Tuesday, April 1, she appeared in L.A. County Superior Court. However, the L.A. District Attorney’s Office “declined to file charges against Kim Delaney and James Morgan due to insufficient evidence,” according to a spokesperson. She was released from custody at 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, April 1, without a formal criminal complaint, according to the court arrest records reviewed by PEOPLE.
The dismissal comes after the actress was arrested on Saturday, March 29, at 10:15 a.m. local time, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s inmate information website.
The arrest took place at her Los Angeles home, TMZ initially reported, citing law enforcement sources. Morgan was also arrested following what the outlet called a “heated argument that turned physical.”
After paramedics arrived at the scene to check on potential injuries, both Delaney and Morgan were taken into custody, per TMZ.
Prior to the recent incident, Delaney has posted several pictures alongside Morgan to her Instagram. In January, she added a photo of Morgan kissing her cheek as she smiled for the camera. “#love always wins! Let’s keep this love and kindness with each other through these uncertain times! 🙏🍀,” she captioned the photo.
She also shared recent snaps of herself and Morgan to celebrate their second wedding anniversary in October.
The couple married on Oct. 11, 2022. However, the Army Wives actress filed for divorce five months later. She also sought out a temporary restraining order against Morgan for alleged domestic violence, according to court documents reviewed by The Los Angeles Times.
However, the temporary restraining order was dropped after no one appeared in court that May to formalize or extend it. Additionally, their divorce case was removed from the court calendar when she never appeared for the June 2023 hearing related to the dissolution of marriage, according to the outlet.
