William Levy was arrested.

The reason is revealed.

Controversy surrounds the actor.

Cuban actor William Levy was arrested this past Monday in Weston, Florida.

This occurred after a confusing incident at a restaurant that ended with charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and trespassing.

According to sources close to the actor who spoke to PEOPLE en Español, everything happened after a social gathering with parents of his son’s friends at Baires Grill.

“He was hanging out with the parents of his son’s friends at a restaurant called Baires Grill. William offered them a round of drinks,” an exclusive source told the outlet.

However, the gathering took an unexpected turn when the bill arrived.

“When the check came, I don’t know the exact amount, but it was an outrageous figure, and he said he wasn’t going to pay. He had already paid for a round of drinks for about a hundred people,” the same source explained.

The disagreement with the restaurant manager escalated into a physical confrontation when a third person stepped in to try to calm things down.

According to the testimony, Levy pushed this person, which led the staff to ask him to leave.

At that moment, the actor accidentally left his phone on the table, and when he returned to retrieve it, the restaurant called the police.

“They asked William to leave, and he left his phone on the table. When he came back for it, they called the police, and as he was leaving, he was arrested,” said the source.

Authorities detained him for disorderly conduct and reentering an establishment from which he had been expelled, which led to a trespassing charge.

This episode has deeply concerned his loved ones, especially his mother and sister, who are coping with the fallout of the scandal.

“His mother is handling everything that’s happening with him,” the source said.

After spending the night in custody, William Levy appeared in court on Tuesday before a Broward County judge.

The hearing was brief but captured on video, showing the actor in handcuffs and wearing the standard brown inmate uniform.

During the session, the judge read the charges and accepted a bail agreement reached between the prosecution and defense.

Bail was set at $250 for each of the two charges filed.

The judge ended the hearing by wishing Levy “good luck” before he was released on his own recognizance.

So far, the actor has not made any public statements about the incident, and his legal team has not released an official statement.

Baires Grill was contacted by PEOPLE en Español, but the manager declined to comment.

“The person in charge is not available to take the call,” was the only response from the restaurant.

It’s worth noting that, according to the source recounting the events, this incident had nothing to do with his ex-partner, Elizabeth Gutiérrez.

“This incident had nothing to do with Elizabeth Gutiérrez,” the source said firmly.

William Levy’s case has caused a stir in both the media and on social networks, where his followers are divided between support and disappointment.

Meanwhile, the actor’s legal situation remains ongoing, and the next steps in the judicial process are expected to be determined in the coming days.

With a career that includes hits like Sortilegio and Café con aroma de mujer, Levy now faces one of the most challenging moments of his public life.

The scandal could impact not only his public image but also upcoming professional projects.

It remains to be seen whether the actor will share his side of the story in the coming hours or choose to remain silent until the legal process concludes, PEOPLE en Español noted.
