Per that outlet, the English-born actor was part of a loud disagreement involving the woman when police were called. The cops got there at about 2:30 a.m. on the morning of October 7 — so, very early last Saturday — and determined Sam and the woman had gotten into a “heated argument,” per the outlet. In addition, the dispute allegedly “got physical” at some point.

When officers showed up, they allegedly found “visible marks” on the woman’s body. She didn’t require medical attention, thankfully, but that was enough for the LAPD to take action. So, they arrested Underwood for felony domestic battery. He was taken into custody, charged, booked into jail, and released in the span of about ten hours. Now, the case has been sent to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether to pursue criminal charges.

As for Sam’s side of the story, an insider told TMZ that the actor’s lawyer has in his possession “photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings” which “disprove the claims of the party making these accusations against him.” Underwood’s attorney is going to pass that alleged evidence on to authorities this week, per the outlet.
