Overview
- Atlanta police executed a warrant at Djimon Hounsou’s Atlanta residence on Jan. 16, arresting Riza Simpson on suspicion of simple assault and obstruction, both misdemeanors.
- Online booking records show Simpson was processed into the Atlanta City Detention Center on Jan. 20.
- A December police report states Hounsou alleged Simpson struck him in the face with a closed fist after he told her to leave the home.
- The report notes the couple’s children were upstairs during the alleged incident, and officers later said they heard children crying and found them with Simpson during the arrest.
- The obstruction count stems from claims Simpson provided false information and refused to comply with lawful commands, with no public statement from her reported.
