Empire actor, Bryshere Gray has been arrested on domestic violence charges following a standoff with police at his Arizona home.
Gray, who played Hakeem Lyon on the Fox TV series, was taken into custody on Monday at about 7am at his home in Goodyear, Arizona, where he had barricaded himself overnight.
The woman had flagged down a passerby at another gas station, stating that ‘she had been assaulted at her Goodyear home for the last several hours by her husband,’ according to the police report obtained by Fox 10.
The woman was taken to the hospital where she was treated for her injuries and released.
Upon arriving at their home later, police said that Gray refused to exit the property and barricaded himself inside.
Between the barricade situation and the possible felony domestic violence charge, police called Goodyear SWAT and Crisis Negotiations to the scene, AZ Family reported.
Gray barricaded himself inside the house overnight, eventually surrendering himself to authorities without incident at about 7am Monday.
Gray was then arrested and booked into jail.
Gray now faces charges including assault (domestic violence), aggravated assault (strangulation) and disorderly conduct.
