According to Variety, he was released on $20,000 bail.

“It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife that we hope will be resolved positively for both of them,” a spokesperson for Madsen told Variety.

The veteran actor has appeared in more than 200 films and is best known for his role as the evil Mr. Blonde in “Reservoir Dogs.” He also played Budd in both “Kill Bill” films and starred in “The Hateful Eight.”
