Gary Dourdan of "CSI" fame was the alleged victim of domestic violence Tuesday afternoon, and his much smaller girlfriend was cuffed and taken into custody ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Cops were called to a Venice, CA home in the early afternoon. We're told when they arrived they found Dourdan scratched up. They arrested Maria Asis del Alamo where she was taken to the station and booked on misdemeanor domestic battery.
Maria is 5'8", 110 lbs. Gary is 6'2" and his fighting weight is 190.
Richard Belzer from "Law and Order" claims he never choked the Apple employee who called 911 on him yesterday -- and dude says there's surveillance footage that proves him right.
Belzer tells TMZ the drama all started while he was waiting in line at the Apple store in Manhattan. He says a female employee approached him and asked him if he needed help ... so he placed his hands on her shoulders and said he would love some help.
That's when Belzer says she freaked out, called the cops ... and told them he had choked her.
Belzer says cops showed up and took a look at the store's surveillance tape ... and decided the woman's claims were unfounded.
Belzer tells TMZ, "Perhaps I shouldn't have invaded her space, but it was clearly non-threatening."
According to the New York Post, who broke the story, the woman still filed a harassment report against Belzer.
Erin Muller says she found a GPS tracking device attached to the undercarriage of her car two weeks ago ... and Erin tells TMZ she believes her ex Michael Lohan is the one who put it there.
Muller claims her dad found the device -- which can track the whereabouts of her vehicle in real time -- while he was checking for an oil leak.
Muller says when she showed cops the device, they told her it's the same kind they use to track their own vehicles.
According to Muller's lawyer, cops are investigating the situation as a felony eavesdropping case -- and, as a result, Erin says she's so paranoid that she's going to have her apartment swept for bugs.
We spoke to Lohan, who told us Erin is "full of crap."
"Star Trek" star Walter Koenig -- father of missing "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig -- is leaving for Vancouver in a few hours to get briefed on the search for his missing son.
Walter tells TMZ his son's been depressed before ... but this is the first time he's straight up disappeared.
Walter and his wife plan to stay near Stanley Park, where their son was last seen on Valentine's Day.
Walter had been aware that Andrew cleaned out his Los Angeles apartment but had no idea his son planned to move to Vancouver ... which Andrew told friends before he disappeared.
According to Walter, Andrew told him he was only there to visit acting school friends.
Travis Barker was challenged to a fight by a photog just one hour before yesterday's nuclear showdown -- and TMZ has now obtained video of the confrontation that ignited the whole thing.
The video shows an antagonizing cameraman (not TMZ) seriously getting into it with Travis, inciting him by saying, "Whatcha gonna do?" as Barker walked with his children into Marmalade Cafe at the Commons.
Travis is seen swinging at the camera and yelling "I'll kick the s**t outta you bro ... if I didn't have my little girl in my hands ... give me an hour and I'll meet you." The photog said he'd be waiting.
As we previously reported, neither of the guys Travis and Co. fought with on the way out are the photog in this video.
Travis Barker got into a heated argument with paparazzi outside a restaurant in Calabasas and cops took a report ... sources tell TMZ.
We're told it happened as Travis and some of his friends were on their way out of the restaurant. The agency involved claims their guys did nothing to provoke the incident -- and that Barker had a run-in with two other photogs on the way in.
Cops were able to confirm they were called to the location, but wouldn't confirm Barker was involved. There were no arrests made, but a vandalism report was taken.
We've tried to reach out to Travis, so far no luck.
Two cop cars were outside Jay Leno's Beverly Hills home yesterday -- and according to Jay, they were there investigating "the murder."
We're told the police are actually there because of filming in the area, which makes more sense ... since the only things Jay's capable of killing are Conan O'Brien's dreams.
TMZ has learned Danger -- one of the stars of the VH1 show "For the Love of Ray J" -- is currently being detained by police in an arson investigation after officials responded to a fire in her Hollywood apartment.
We're told the L.A. City Fire Department received a 911 call around 2:15 PM PST today from Danger's complex. When cops arrived, the fire had already been extinguished -- but arson investigators were called to the scene.
After checking out the situation, authorities decided to detain Danger -- whose real name is Monica Leon -- pending further investigation.
UPDATE: Sources say Danger is currently under a 72-hour watch.
Spencer Pratt is a dirty mud-slinger -- and according to the police, dude needs to fix the problem stat.
Heidi Montag's other half was pulled over by the LAPD last night because his monster truck lacked mud flaps -- which are required on massive rides so mud and debris doesn't get shot back at other vehicles.
During the stop -- in which Spencer invited the cops to go clubbing with him -- the officers nailed Spencer for not having proof of insurance.
Spencer was eventually sent on his way with merely a fix-it ticket, which requires him to get his vehicle up to code by March 15.
UPDATE: The man who was cuffed and put in the police car has been released. He says he works for Spencer Pratt.
The LAPD received a call for a "possible kidnapping" at the Los Angeles home of Heidi and Spencer Pratt ... sources tell TMZ.
A witness at the scene tells TMZ police blocked off the street outside of Speidi's house, helicopters are flying above and cops with guns drawn are yelling at someone to come out of the house.
Neighbors tell us ... it looks like a cop show. Police are swarming the area. Someone from the helicopter was on a loudspeaker saying, "Man in the black shirt. Come out of the house."
Several cops jumped the fence and went toward the house.
A man has been arrested and is in the back of a police car. The man is a white male, brown hair, medium build, wearing blue jeans and a black shirt.
We have a cameraman at the scene who says this does not look fake.
Cops are now taking the cuffs off the man and are talking with him.
Two arrest warrants have been issued for comedian Katt Williams after he allegedly punched someone in the face at an Atlanta hotel back in November -- and the whole thing was allegedly caught on tape ... audio tape.
Arrest warrants for battery and false imprisonment were issued last month for Katt in Fulton County, GA, stemming from an alleged incident at the Four Seasons Hotel the night of November 12.
According to the police report, Merion Powers claims Katt invited him to the hotel to discuss a debt -- when Powers sensed trouble was brewing he pressed the record button on his cell phone.
According to the report, "Mr. Williams was on audio recording stating that he did physically strike Mr. Power's once in the nose" and that Powers' nose "did show signs of swelling." Katt was never arrested -- but warrants were issued on December 28.
Now ... a source connected with Katt claims it went down like this: Powers was attempting to extort the comedian over a musical recording made by Williams, and when Williams told Powers to pound sand, Powers' pal called the hotel security, security called the cops, but the cops didn't believe Powers and left without arresting Katt.
President Ronald Reagan's 31-year-old grandson was arrested at his parent's home this morning in L.A. -- after someone pushed a panic button inside the house.
We're told when LAPD officers arrived at the home, Cameron Reagan -- son of political radio host Michael Reagan -- was screaming profanities at the cops.
Reagan was ultimately taken into custody at 12:20 AM. He was later booked at a Van Nuys jail on the misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest at 5:49 AM.
He's still in police custody.
It's not Cameron's first run-in with the law -- back in 1999 he was sentenced to six months in jail on charges of receiving stolen property for his role in two car burglaries.
UPDATE: The Reagan family claims Cameron accidentally set off the panic alarm -- and the whole thing was a giant misunderstanding.
TMZ has learned lawyers for Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller are no longer asking the judge in the domestic violence case to lift the restraining order.
Law enforcement sources tell us both Sheen and Mueller are fine with certain parts of the existing order -- specifically, that Charlie not be in possession of a gun or other weapon, that he refrain from drinking or using drugs, and that he not harass or annoy Mueller any possible witnesses in the case.
We're told they are now asking the judge to merely lift the portion of the order prohibiting them from having any contact or cohabiting with each other. They also agree that a "safety plan" be put in place for Mueller's protection.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the prosecutor will neither support nor oppose the more limited motion by Mueller and Sheen.
But, we've learned, swift justice is not forthcoming. We're told the hearing on the motion -- set for Monday -- has been postponed, and it's likely the motion now will not be hearing until January 11.
An Aspen cop wrote a sworn statement saying Brooke Mueller told authorities Charlie Sheen had done this to her before -- this according to the officer's affidavit obtained by TMZ. And Mueller told cops Sheen held her down at knifepoint and threatened to have her killed if she told anyone.
Officer Rick Magnuson says in the affidavit when he responded to the location, dispatch had told him that the knife Sheen had allegedly threatened Mueller with was a switchblade, "like a pocket knife."
Magnuson says when he arrived he did not notice "any obvious injuries" on Mueller. When Magnuson arrived, Sheen was upstairs and Mueller was in the kitchen.
Magnuson took Sheen into the basement to talk, where Sheen said he had been having marital problems lately and that she "abuses alcohol." Sheen says Mueller began arguing with him at 3:30 AM and the argument escalated when she threatened to divorce him and take the children.
Sheen says the catalyst for the argument was when he "shared a song for his daughter whom he fathered with another woman" which made Mueller jealous.
Sheen says both parties were yelling at each other and they had each slapped the other on the arm during the argument. Sheen denied pushing or striking Mueller. Sheen says at one point he took Mueller's eyeglasses and broke them in front of her.
Sheen denied threatening Mueller with a knife or strangling her. He did acknowledge having a folding knife in his travel bag which was just outside the bedroom. Officer Magnuson went with Sheen to look inside the travel bag and saw a dark colored, locking knife with a 4-inch blade. The blade was locked in the open position.
The affidavit goes on to say another officer interviewed Mueller, who said she and Sheen were arguing in the bedroom and she said she wanted a divorce. She says Sheen became enraged, grabbed her by the upper part of her throat while straddling her on the bed. She says Sheen then pulled out a knife and held it to her throat, saying, "You better be in fear. If you tell anybody, I'll kill you."
Mueller says Sheen added, "Your mother's money means nothing. I have ex-police I can hire who know how to get the job done and they won't leave any trace."
Mueller then says Sheen got off of her after she told him, "You're right. You're right. You're right. I'm sorry. I love you."
Magnuson says he then observed "red marks on the upper part of the front of her neck." Mueller says the marks were made as Sheen held her down on the bed. Mueller says Sheen placed a medium-sized, folding knife, blade exposed, next to her throat while he straddled her on the bed. Mueller says she was in pain and afraid she was going to die while Sheen's hand was on her throat.
