Skai Jackson, a prominent Disney Channel personality, was recently taken into custody for domestic battery after an incident with her boyfriend, as reported by Page Six. The 22-year-old “Jessie” star allegedly got into trouble at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California on August 9 during a heated altercation with her partner, according to a representative from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Following the observation of security personnel witnessing the couple’s physical altercation, law enforcement was called in. Surveillance footage reviewed by authorities purportedly captured Jackson pushing her boyfriend not once, but twice, prompting the guards to detain them until the police arrived.
Subsequently, Jackson was apprehended on misdemeanor charges of domestic battery, though she was later cited and released within a few hours. The case will now be evaluated by the LA County District Attorney’s Office to determine if further charges are necessary.
Despite video evidence of the altercation, both Jackson and her boyfriend denied any physical altercation. Surprisingly, they revealed that they are happily engaged and anticipating the arrival of their child.
In the realm of Disney Channel stars encountering legal issues, Jackson’s arrest adds to the list. With previous incidents involving individuals like Orlando Brown and Mitchel Musso, it appears that fame can sometimes lead to entanglements with law enforcement.
