WESTON, Fla. (WFLA) – Cuban-American actor William Levy was arrested in South Florida Monday after causing “obstruction” inside a restaurant, authorities said.
Records obtained by NBC affiliate WTVJ show that a 44-year-old child was booked into a major Broward County jail on charges of disorderly addiction in public.

Officials said the Weston Road restaurant manager left to Levy and told the actor not to come back after he became “very drunk.”
However, Levi remained on the property and refused to leave if the aide appeared, the arrest report said. After several ignored orders, authorities said the adjutant had arrested the collection.
The judge set Levy’s bond at $500 during court hearing Tuesday.
Levi came to Miami from Cuba as a teenager and began studying acting after graduating from high school. His first brush, in which he has fame, came when he began appearing in Spanish Telenova.
He has since appeared in films such as Tyler Perry’s “Single Mother Club,” and in 2012, the popular TV show “Dancing with the Stars,” which came in third place with his partner Sheryl Burke.
Levy was named one of the top 10 Latin actors and actresses in Hollywood variety in 2014.
