Jared Padalecki: ‘Supernatural’ star arrested in Texas, charged with assault and public intoxication (Video)
(Updated Nov. 1 with mugshot) From all outward appearances, actor Jared Padalecki has been leading a charmed life. He’s just now finishing up the final season of his hit TV show “Supernatural” after 15 seasons on The CW Network starring as Sam Winchester, fighter of demons and killer of monsters. Earlier this fall it was also reported that with “Supernatural” ending, he’d be starring in and executive producing a reboot of “Walker, Texas Ranger,” also for The CW.
But in an uncharacteristic drunken public display, the 37-year-old “Supernatural” star was arrested in his hometown of Austin, Texas, early Sunday morning, October 27. Following that arrest, he was charged with one count of public intoxication and two counts of assault, according to Entertainment Weekly. The mayhem went down at Austin’s Stereotype Bar, reported to be a favorite haunt of Padalecki’s.
It was at the Stereotype Bar where Padalecki allegedly punched one of the bartenders in the face and where he also punched the manager of the establishment. Following those two reported assaults, a friend walked Padalecki out of the bar and tried calming him down. But Padalecki ended up getting into a tussle with that friend and ended up putting him in a headlock out on the Austin street.
Eventually, Padalecki was restrained by police, but not before pulling out what we’re told was a wad of cash, and allegedly flashing it to the officers. ~ Socialite Life
TMZ reported that Padalecki’s bond was set at $15,000 – $5,000 for each of his three charges. The video below shows the intoxicated actor putting his friend in a headlock and eventually being arrested by the authorities.
