The Supernatural star Jared Padalecki was arrested and charged with assault after he allegedly slugged an assistant manager and general manager outside his club in Austin, Texas.
The visibly drunk actor was taken in on charges of assault with injury outside the ‘90s-themed bar ‘Stereotype’ that opened last year.
After the verbal argument turned physical inside the bar, Padalecki was taken outside by employees, according to a police affidavit.
The 37-year-old actor started arguing with Ian Flanagan, the assistant manager, who tried to go back inside the bar.
Padalecki attempted to follow but bar employees stopped him, Flanagan said to police.
The actor allegedly slapped the assistant manager in the face and hit him in the upper lip, said the report.
Tyler Carr, the general manager who said to police that the actor was the owner of Stereotype, was working at another bar that night but rushed to the scene after receiving a call.
He told cops that he attempted to keep Padalecki and the assistant manager apart but the actor allegedly ‘put his hands on the doorman.
The report said that Carr pulled the Supernatural star off the doorman and he allegedly punched the general manager.
“Jared appeared to be intoxicated. Jared had the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath,” one of the officers wrote.
“He was swaying side to side while standing, and his eyes were watery. Jared was also smiling and laughing. I thought this behavior to be odd due to a different man in the area with an obvious head injury.”
Padalecki was placed in the back of a police car.
According to records of the Travis County Jail, the actor is no longer in custody.
According to Deadline, the production on the season finale of Supernatural hasn’t been impacted by the star’s arrest.
