People reported that Rivera was arraigned on her charges just after midnight on Sunday morning and released on a $1,000 bond.
“In a video captured by local news station WSAZ (who was first to report the news, according to People), a soft-spoken Rivera is shown handcuffed and dressed down in a hoodie and dark pants while being arraigned. The outlet reports Rivera was released on a $1000 PR bond and picked up by her father-in-law.”
WSAZ also reported that the husband provided police with a cell phone video showing Rivera battering him. ABC News affiliate WCHS-TV reported that Dorsey is from the Chesapeake area and that he’s also an actor. Dorsey has appeared in episodes of TV’s “Pitch”, “Nashville” and “Major Crimes.” Rivera appeared in 99 episodes of “Glee” from 2009 through 2015.
