Cuban-born actor William Levy has found himself in legal trouble. The Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and Sortilegio star was arrested on Monday, April 14, in Weston, Florida, according to records from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Levy, whose full name is William Gutierrez-Levy, is facing multiple charges, including disorderly conduct while intoxicated, disturbing a public place, and trespassing. The circumstances surrounding his arrest haven’t been made public yet, but it’s clear that whatever went down was chaotic enough to warrant police intervention.
As of now, no bail has been set, and Levy is expected to appear in court soon. The incident is still developing, and more details are likely to surface in the coming hours.
This isn’t the first time William Levy’s name has been caught up in controversy. The actor, long hailed as a Latin heartthrob with a crossover Hollywood presence, has been under scrutiny recently amid renewed whispers about personal drama, including allegations of domestic issues with longtime partner Elizabeth Gutiérrez. While neither side has confirmed or commented directly on those reports, the timing of his arrest is raising eyebrows.
Levy’s fan base, especially in Latin America and the U.S. Spanish-speaking community, has long seen him as a symbol of charm and charisma. From leading telenovelas to scoring high-profile endorsements and a run on Dancing With the Stars, he carved out a global career. But this arrest could complicate his public image, and potentially any upcoming projects.
Univision broke the story first and confirmed the arrest with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. They noted that Levy was picked up for allegedly causing a disturbance in a public place while intoxicated and trespassing where he shouldn’t have been.
Social media is already buzzing, with fans defending the actor while others are asking what really happened that night. As is typical in these high-profile cases, people are split between concern and criticism.
At this point, Levy’s reps have not made a public statement, and neither has the actor himself. But with the story gaining traction across both Spanish and English-language media, a response is likely on the horizon.
Whether this ends up being a temporary misstep or a much bigger issue for the actor, only time, and the court system, will tell. What’s clear for now is that William Levy is in hot water, and the spotlight is back on him for all the wrong reasons.
