Cuban-American actor William Levy was arrested on April 14, 2025, in Weston, Florida, for disorderly intoxication and trespassing on an occupied property. He was taken into custody by Broward County Sheriff’s deputies and booked into the county’s main jail in Fort Lauderdale. Levy is expected to appear before a bond court judge in the coming hours.

Levy's arrest follows years of reported domestic incidents and could carry jail time under Florida law.

Under Florida law, public disturbance while intoxicated can lead to up to 60 days in jail, while trespassing on occupied property carries a penalty of up to one year in prison. Both offenses are classified as misdemeanors. Legal proceedings will determine the consequences for the actor.

The arrest comes amid past reports of domestic conflicts between Levy and his ex-partner, actress Elizabeth Gutiérrez. Police were reportedly called to their shared home in Southwest Ranches on multiple occasions in recent years, adding context to the current situation.

From telenovela star to legal headlines, Levy’s future in acting now faces uncertainty

William Levy, 44, was born in Cojímar, Cuba, and moved to the U.S. at age 16. He gained fame through roles in telenovelas such as "Sortilegio" and "Cuidado con el ángel", and more recently in Netflix and Vix+ series like "Café con aroma de mujer and Montecristo".

As of now, Levy’s representatives have not made any public statements. Further details about his legal situation and potential impact on his acting career are expected to emerge soon.
