Kim Delaney is an actress you may have seen on shows like NYPD Blue, Army Wives, The OC, and CSI: Miami. Marina Del Rey station deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call where Kim Delaney was arrested for an assault with a deadly weapon while her partner, James Morgan, was arrested for battery.

The investigation is still ongoing, but here is what we know. On Saturday morning at around 9:45 am, the deputies from the Marina Del Rey station responded to a domestic disturbance call at her LA home. TMZ cited law enforcement sources, saying that Morgan and Delaney were in a heated argument before it turned physical. Paramedics arrived on the scene to see if either party was injured, and upon being medically cleared, both were arrested.

Delaney was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily harm, while her partner, Morgan, was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. Morgan was later released on a $20,000 bond, according to the court records.

Just a few weeks ago, on March 13, Kim Delaney posted a photo of her and Morgan cuddling up together with a caption that reads, “Pure love.” In October, the two celebrated their second wedding anniversary. “A beautiful 2nd wedding anniversary!!! 10/11. And now, it’s anniversary weekend! Great memories! I love you, hubby-your wife for life,” the Instagram caption reads. Things seemed to have been going well for the couple, but I guess you never know what goes on behind closed doors.

Delaney remains in custody, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department’s website, and upon further investigation, a discrepancy occurs. If you look up Kim Delaney on any site, you’ll be told that she is 63 and was born in 1961, but according to her booking records on LASD’s website, you’ll be told she was born in 1959, making her 65.

Both are scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday at 8:30 PST. Ironically, Delaney’s most notable role was as Detective Diane Russell on “NYPD Blue,” which had won her an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series back in 1997.

You may or may not know this, but this isn’t the first time Kim Delaney had a run-in with the law. In 2002, Delaney was caught drunk driving in Malibu. She was sentenced to two years of probation and checked herself into rehab for her battle with alcoholism just one year later. And more recently, in 2024, Delaney was sued by a motorcyclist for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in LA!

Delaney’s representatives are not responding to any requests for comments at this time, and we will keep you updated as we learn more!
