Actor Eric Mabius was arrested in Florida today, new reports reveal.
Mabius, who is best known for his lengthy series of Hallmark credits and regular appearances in the early aughts sitcom Ugly Betty, was arrested after an altercation in a Nassau County bar during the early morning hours on Thursday, Feb. 20, according to local CW affiliate WJXT.

The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office told reporters that the incident occurred at about 2 a.m. at The Goat on Lofton Square Court, an Irish-themed bar in Fernandina Beach, Fla. A police report reviewed by several outlets, including People and The Florida-Times Union, accused Mabius and a 40-year-old woman of creating a disturbance. Law enforcement said the two were intoxicated.
Witnesses told the outlet that the dispute peaked after the bartender asked the Signed, Sealed, Delivered star and the unnamed woman to leave when the duo allegedly began spitting on several patrons.
The 53-year-old actor has also been accused of pushing another woman to the ground and pulling out “fistfuls” of her hair.
Deputies told WJXT that they separated Mabius and the woman when they arrived on scene but that the actor became “increasingly belligerent” when he was held outside the bar for questioning. Law enforcement officials also claimed that the actor was generally uncooperative with the investigation.
Neither Mabius nor a rep for the actor has publicly addressed the arrest report.

Our deputies quickly dealt with an uncooperative individual, and we’re thankful no one was seriously injured during this unfortunate incident,” Sheriff Bill Leeper said in a statement shared with WJXT.
The victim, who remained anonymous in the report, ultimately declined to press charges. Mabius and the woman were then arrested for simple battery and resisting without violence.
In addition to his many on-screen credits, Mabius is also a father of two. He shares sons Maxfield, 18, and Rylan, 16, with his wife Ivy Sherman.
