Longtime actor William Levy, also known as the "Cuban Brad Pitt," has had a rough start to his week.
According to reports, Levy, 44, was arrested in Weston, Florida Monday by the Broward Sheriff's Office. Levy was booked into Broward County Jail and charged disorderly intoxication in a public place, causing a disturbance and trespassing.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Levy reportedly remained behind bars after appearing in court. Other details of his arrest have not been released at this time.
A native of Cojimar, Cuba, Levy emigrated to Miami when he was 14 years old. After getting started as a model, he broke into acting in 2006.
Known for his roles in telenovelas, Levy was a contestant on season 14 of Dancing With the Stars back in 2012. He was partnered with dancer Cheryl Burke and finished third behind singer Katherine Jenkins and partner Mark Ballas and the winning tandem of NFL wide receiver Donald Driver and partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Levy went on to appear in the movies "Girls Trip," "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," and Tyler Perry's 'Addicted.'
Last year, Levy and his on-and-off girlfriend, actress Elizabeth Gutierrez, with whom he has two children, were involved in a viral incident outside of their former home.
Gutierrez told responding officers that Kailey, the couple's daughter, entered the home to retrieve an item and encountered an unknown woman who attempted to 'hide.' The teenager also accused her father of pushing her.
However, a police search of the house uncovered only Levy and a cleaning woman, and cops said there was no evidence to indicate a physical confrontation.
'It's my house, I was alone. Kailey knocks on the door, I don't know what's happening. I don't push her, I put my hand there [to prevent it from opening] ... You can't come in here, this is my room, my privacy," Levy said in a statement at the time.
