William Levy Arrested at Baires Grill in Miami
William Levy, arrested at Baires Grill in Miami, made headlines this week when the Cuban actor and producer was taken into custody in Weston, Florida, on Monday, April 15, 2025. The incident occurred at Baires Grill, a popular restaurant in Broward County, where Levy was allegedly intoxicated and became involved in a public disturbance.
What Sparked the Incident at Baires Grill
According to sources close to the actor, Levy had invited several parents of his son’s friends to dine with him at the restaurant. In a seemingly generous gesture, Levy reportedly offered to buy a round of drinks for the group.
“The number of people isn’t exact, but there were reportedly around 100,” a source told People en Español.
“When the bill came, the cost was outrageous. William didn’t pay the total amount, saying he had only intended to pay for one round.”
The situation escalated when Levy got into an argument with the restaurant manager. During the confrontation, a third party tried to intervene, and Levy allegedly shoved the person. As a result, the restaurant asked him to leave the premises.
Police Called After Levy Returned for Forgotten Phone
After exiting the restaurant, Levy realized he had forgotten his cell phone. When he returned to retrieve it, the restaurant staff contacted the police. Shortly after, officers arrived and arrested him on charges of:
- Disorderly intoxication in a public place
- Trespassing on occupied property
Efforts by People en Español to contact the restaurant for a statement were unsuccessful. Management declined to speak with the press.
A Night Behind Bars and a $500 Bond
Following the incident, Levy spent the night at the Broward County Jail. He appeared before a judge the next morning in a brief court hearing. A publicly released video shows the actor in a brown jail-issued outfit, handcuffed and visibly worn out.
The judge set bail at $250 per charge, totaling $500, which Levy paid to secure his release later that day.
Family’s Reaction to the Arrest
According to sources, Levy’s mother and sister are heartbroken by the incident and are closely managing the aftermath.
“His mom is handling everything,” a family insider confirmed.
Levy Breaks His Silence After Jail Release
Upon leaving jail, Levy maintained his sense of humor despite the ordeal. He told reporters:
“I don’t know if they’re good, but I made new friends.”
Levy denied pushing anyone and questioned the nature of the trespassing charge.
“I guess they had to arrest me for something,” he said with a chuckle.
What the Law Says: Could Levy Face Jail Time?
The charges against Levy each carry a potential sentence of up to one year in jail. However, legal experts believe this is unlikely due to Levy’s clean criminal record.
“For a first-time offense like this, jail time isn’t typical unless there’s significant harm involved,” one Florida-based attorney explained.
Experts suggest that if convicted, Levy is more likely to face a fine, probation, or community service rather than incarceration.
What’s Next for William Levy
Levy is now awaiting a second court hearing where his legal fate will be determined. Until then, he remains free on bond but under legal scrutiny.
The incident has triggered widespread attention among his fans and followers, especially in Latin entertainment circles. Known for his charm and clean image, the arrest marks a rare and unexpected blemish on the 44-year-old actor’s public persona.
