Kill Bill star Michael Madsen was arrested in Malibu on Wednesday evening, weeks after the death of his son from a suspected suicide.
Michael, 64, who is known for starring in films such as Sin City and Die Another Day was escorted by three police cars to the hospital before heading to the police station.
Images obtained by The Sun show the Hollywood icon with his hands restrained behind his back while being taken to a police vehicle by an officer who was armed.
According to The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department website, Michael was booked just after midnight on Thursday, with his bail set to $500.

American cops then took the restrained star to the police station roughly after midnight.

“I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened.”
He added: “He was looking towards his future, so it’s mind-blowing. I just can’t grasp what happened.”
