William Levy, the Cuban-American actor known for his roles in popular telenovelas, was arrested on Monday night, April 14, 2025, in Weston, Florida, after being accused of disturbing the peace while intoxicated and trespassing on an occupied property. The 44-year-old actor was taken to the main Broward County jail in Fort Lauderdale, located about 45 kilometers north of Miami, where he was held without bail as he awaited a court hearing.
According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, Levy's arrest came after police responded to a disturbance call in the area. Reports indicate that Levy was involved in a physical altercation that began at a restaurant called Baires Grill during a gathering with the parents of his son's friends. Allegedly, after being unhappy with the bill, he became confrontational and violent with someone who attempted to intervene in the dispute. Witnesses claim he pushed the individual, leading to his arrest when he returned to retrieve his cell phone, which he had left behind.
After spending a night in custody, Levy was released on April 15, 2025, after paying a bail set at $250 for each charge. Currently, he is back home with his children, but he faces serious legal repercussions. Florida law stipulates that disturbing the peace due to alcohol can result in a maximum of 60 days in jail, while trespassing on an occupied property could lead to up to one year behind bars.
This incident marks another chapter in a series of legal and personal troubles for Levy, particularly concerning his tumultuous relationship with actress Elizabeth Gutiérrez, the mother of his two children. Reports have emerged detailing a history of conflicts between the couple, with police having been called to their shared residence in Southwest Ranches on multiple occasions.
One notable incident occurred in October 2023 when authorities responded to a domestic dispute between Levy and Gutiérrez, which reportedly stemmed from Levy's excessive alcohol consumption. Although no physical violence was reported during that incident, Gutiérrez expressed concern over Levy's behavior when drinking.
In January 2024, a police agent found Gutiérrez in a distressed state alongside their daughter, Kailey, after Levy arrived home in an altered state, allegedly carrying a weapon. Levy has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he would never endanger his family.
Further complications arose in March 2024, when Gutiérrez, along with her two nieces and Kailey, visited the family home. During this visit, Kailey attempted to enter her father’s bedroom after hearing female voices, resulting in a confrontation between Gutiérrez and Levy. In a separate incident that same month, Levy called the police after a disagreement with Gutiérrez regarding their daughter’s refusal to share her location.
Levy's recent arrest has reignited public interest in his personal life and legal issues. Despite the controversies, he remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, known for his roles in telenovelas such as "Café con Aroma de Mujer," "Cuidado con el Ángel," and "Sortilegio." His professional achievements have often been overshadowed by his personal struggles.
The actor's legal troubles have drawn mixed reactions from the public and fans alike. While some express concern for his well-being and the impact on his children, others criticize his behavior and the repeated incidents involving law enforcement. As he navigates these challenges, the outcome of his legal proceedings remains uncertain.
As of now, neither Levy nor his representatives have made any official statements regarding the arrest or the circumstances surrounding it. However, sources close to the actor suggest that his legal team is actively working on his defense and exploring options for his release.
In light of these developments, the community continues to watch closely, as Levy's situation serves as a reminder of the complexities that often accompany fame and personal struggles. With a court hearing on the horizon, the actor's future hangs in the balance, as he faces the consequences of his actions amid a backdrop of ongoing personal turmoil.
