Michael Madsen charged with child cruelty after catching son smoking a doobie

The Hollywood actor Michael Madsen, best known for his part in this year's Celebrity Big Brother (and his role as Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs), has been arrested and charged with child cruelty.

The arrest came after the police were called to Mr Madsen’s Malibu home following a fight with his son over the weekend.

Mr Madsen apparently had a bit of an altercation with his own son after he caught the teenager enjoying a little 'jazz-cigarette' out the back garden - Michael wasn’t too pleased. So much so that the pair got into a fight and the 54-year-old’s son was reported to have had signs of physical injury.

Madsen’s lawyer told TMZ news: "Michael Madsen found his son smoking pot and they got in an argument when he tried to take it away."

According to the sheriff’s department Madsen appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. His bail currently stands at $100,000 (€76,000).

The actor was eventually booked with child endangerment and cruelty to a child. We bet he’s glad he sold out for the easy money on Celeb Big Brother now.
