Max Ehrich Arrested in Florida on Domestic Violence Charge Involving His Mother

Police cite livestreamed footage, with a Baker Act psychiatric hold noted in arrest records.

Overview

  • Port St. Lucie police arrested the 34-year-old actor on Oct. 8 on a charge of battery on a person 65 or older, and he was released after posting a $1,000 bond.
  • Police reports say the alleged victim is his mother, who told officers he heavily abuses inhalants and accused him of chasing her, shoving her to the ground, and kicking her.
  • A neighbor alerted authorities after viewing an Instagram Live that appeared to show part of the confrontation, and the mother declined to provide a written statement or injury photos.
  • Arrest documents reference a Baker Act psychiatric hold for evaluation following several minutes in which officers tried to get him to exit the home.
  • Hours before the arrest, Ehrich posted erratic messages and livestreamed multiple times, and his representatives had not issued substantive comment as the investigation continues.
