The drama surrounding William Levy’s arrest in Florida on April 15 continues to unfold. After being released and posting bond, new details are surfacing—including audio from the 911 call placed by a restaurant employee in Broward County that ultimately led to the actor’s arrest.
According to the call, the manager of Baires Grill told dispatchers that two intoxicated people were causing a scene and refusing to leave or pay their bill. “We’ve got two drunk people here. I think they’re also on something. They don’t want to leave, and we’re not serving them anymore,” he said.
The worker claimed both individuals were drinking heavily and getting aggressive, even involving another guest in the dispute.
When the 911 operator asked if they were armed, the staffer said no weapons were visible. Police arrived soon after, and Levy, known for his role in Sortilegio, was taken into custody following a tense exchange.
The 44-year-old was booked at the main Broward County jail in Fort Lauderdale and faced two charges: public intoxication and trespassing. He was released after posting a $500 bond—$250 for each charge. After his release, Levy was picked up by his brother-in-law and is now home with his two kids, Kailey and Christopher.
William Levy speaks out
He spoke to reporters shortly afterward. “I kept trying to hold it together, but in the end, I was the one who left,” he told the press calmly, denying that he ever hit anyone. When asked about the trespassing charge, he recounted with a hint of sarcasm, “Well, they had to take me in for something.” He also joked that he made a few new friends behind bars.
As for claims that he refused to pay the bill? The 44-year-old actor shut that down, insisting the rumors aren’t true.
This isn’t the first time Levy has had a run-in with the law. Back in October 2023, police were called to his home following a heated argument with then-partner Elizabeth Gutiérrez. That incident also reportedly involved excessive alcohol use. Whether this moment becomes just another bump in the road—or something bigger—remains to be seen.
