WESTON, Fla. – Cuban-American actor William Levy was arrested on Monday, April 14, 2025, in Broward County, Florida, on charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing. According to jail records, the 44-year-old actor, whose full name is William Gutiérrez-Levy, was taken into custody by the Broward Sheriff’s Office in Weston.
Levy was booked into the Broward County Main Jail, where he currently awaits trial. During a bond hearing held on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, a judge set his bond at $250 for each of the two counts he faces, which include disorderly conduct related to alcohol effects and unauthorized entry into a private residence.
Details surrounding the incident leading to Levy's arrest have yet to be disclosed. However, reports indicate that he was allegedly involved in inappropriate behavior, including public intoxication and entering a property without permission. A mugshot released by authorities shows Levy appearing visibly disheveled, with a furrowed expression.
As of now, Levy remains in custody at the Broward Main Jail, with no expected release date or projected sentence listed in the jail system. Under Florida law, disorderly intoxication can carry a penalty of up to 60 days in jail, while criminal trespass in an occupied structure could lead to a one-year sentence. Both charges are classified as misdemeanors.
Levy is well-known for his work in telenovelas and has made a name for himself in English-language films and television. He gained fame through popular Mexican telenovelas such as Cuidado con el ángel, Sortilegio, and La tempestad. In recent years, he has expanded his audience through streaming platforms, starring in shows like Café con aroma de mujer (Netflix/Telemundo) and the Spanish adaptation of Montecristo (VIX), which he also produced. His latest project, Arcadia, a Spanish-language series co-starring Paula Echevarría, wrapped production in 2023 and is expected to premiere later this year.
This incident marks the second legal issue for Levy within a year. In April 2024, police were called to his home in Southwest Ranches after his ex-partner, actress Elizabeth Gutiérrez, alleged that he was heavily intoxicated and in the company of another woman. Although that incident did not lead to further legal repercussions, it ignited a media storm regarding his personal life.
In another notable event from the past, Gutiérrez accused Levy of pushing their daughter during a heated argument. This incident, along with several other domestic disputes, has led to police responding to their residence on multiple occasions.
As of now, neither Levy nor his legal representation has made any public statements regarding his recent arrest. The actor's arrest has sparked discussions on social media, with fans expressing concern for his well-being amidst the ongoing legal troubles.
Levy's career spans over a decade, during which he has appeared in numerous films, including Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) and Addicted (2014). He also competed on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2012, showcasing his charisma and talent beyond acting.
As the situation develops, updates are expected to emerge regarding Levy's legal status and potential consequences stemming from this latest incident. Local news outlets are actively following the story, with reports indicating that Levy's arrest has attracted significant media attention.
Fans and followers of the actor are encouraged to stay tuned for further developments as more information is likely to be released in the coming days. Levy's journey in the entertainment industry continues to be closely monitored, especially as he navigates this challenging period in his personal life.
