Former “General Hospital” and “NYPD Blue” star Kim Delaney was arrested on Saturday, March 29, alongside her partner, James Morgan, after law enforcement arrived at her Los Angeles home in response to a domestic disturbance call.
According to TMZ, which first reported the news, sources told the outlet that things unfolded around 10:00 a.m. local time after officers assessed the situation, which included Delaney and Morgan allegedly getting into a “heated argument that turned physical.”
The outlet’s sources also indicated that when paramedics arrived, both Delaney and Morgan had signs of physical injury.
“After both were medically cleared, police slapped them with handcuffs and locked them up in jail,” the outlet said. “Kim was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury. Morgan was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence [DV].”
On Sunday, PEOPLE reported that Delaney was charged with assault with a deadly weapon while Morgan was arrested for domestic violence, per a spokesperson for the Marina Del Rey Sherriff’s Station, which the outlet was referred to by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department when reaching out for comment.
Morgan and Delaney were still in custody as of March 30, according to the spokesperson cited by PEOPLE.
A representative for Delaney did not immediately respond to requests for comment from either outlet at press time.
Reportedly, Morgan was arrested about a half an hour before Delaney by the LASD, and his bail was set at $20,000.
This isn’t the first time Delaney has had to face the law. In 2002, she was booked on charges of drunken driving in Malibu, and in 2024, she was sued by a motorcyclist for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident in Los Angeles.
Delaney and Morgan are both scheduled for court appearances on Tuesday, April 1.
Ironically, Delaney shared a photo of herself and Morgan on Instagram earlier this month, captioning the post, “Pure love.” She included the hashtags “lucky” and “grateful.” In a post from January, she said, “love always wins! Let’s keep this love and kindness with each other through these uncertain times!”
Delaney is best known to soap fans for her role as Jenny Gardner Nelson on “All My Children,” which netted her a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 1983 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

In 2021. Delaney received her second-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination, this time for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Drama Series for her role as Jackie Templeton on “General Hospital,” which she played from 2020-2021 and marked her return to daytime television.
