On October 27, 2019, TMZ reported on the arrest of Jared Padalecki in his hometown of Austin, Texas. According to the outlet, authorities were called on the "Supernatural" actor after he assaulted the assistant manager and general manager of Stereotype Bar, which some outlets say he owns. In an official affidavit from authorities, the incident stemmed from an argument between an intoxicated Padalecki and a group of unidentified patrons inside the establishment, per CBS Austin. After being escorted outside, the actor struck the assistant manager in the lip and punched the general manager in the left eyebrow.
The situation for Padalecki got even stickier when police showed up on the scene. In video footage obtained by TMZ, the "Gilmore Girls" star was shown drunkenly leaning on one of the patrol cars. He also reportedly flashed the cops with a handful of cash before being taken to jail. Due to his violent outburst, he was charged with two counts of assault with injury and one count of public intoxication. Days after his release, Padalecki broke his silence on the arrest when he canceled his appearance at the Supernatural Convention. "I want to sincerely thank my family and friends for all of your love and support," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "So sad to miss the #SPNFamily at #dccon, but I hope to see y'all soon."
