Hollywood actress Theresa Randle was arrested for an alleged assault in Los Angeles on Monday - just the latest incident to raise concern about the Bad Boys star who hasn't been seen in movies recently.
Randle, known for playing Martin Lawrence's wife in the Bad Boys action comedy series, was reported to police last weekend over an alleged assault.
When the cops showed up, Randle was not there. But two days later, the police received a second call about domestic violence and a restraining order violation from the same house.
The cops found Randle at the residence, but she was not cooperative as they detained her for felony assault with a deadly weapon.
Officer Charles Miller, a public information officer for the Los Angeles Police Department, told the Los Angeles Times that Randle struck another person during an "argument" at a home in the 500 block of 7th Street.
The details about the assault, including the nature of the deadly weapon, are unclear. The woke District Attorney of Los Angeles, George Gascon, is not prosecuting the case, citing insufficient evidence.
Randle is known for her roles in Malcolm X, Space Jam, Beverly Hills Cop III, and the Bad Boys series. She hasn't received much acting work lately, last appearing in Bad Boys For Life in 2020.
Randle did not appear in the most recent Bad Boys movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which was released this summer.
Randle portrayed Theresa, the wife of Martin Lawrence's character Marcus Burnett, in the first three Bad Boys movies, but she was replaced by Tasha Smith in the latest installment.
The movie was a box office success, netting $400 million across the world and marking a triumph for star Will Smith, who fell into disgrace after slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Last year, Randle caused alarm when she was seen in LA's notorious Skid Row, known for its large homeless population. A viral video showed Randle in a walker, wearing disposable gloves, raising concern about her health.
Her former publicist, Roger Neal, confirmed Randle's identity but noted he hasn't represented her in a decade. Neal said that casting agents have called him to book Randle, but he has no way of getting in touch with her.
"'That's definitely her. 100 percent," he said of the video.
