Eric Mabius, 'Ugly Betty' and Hallmark star, arrested after alleged fight at a Florida bar

"Ugly Betty" star Eric Mabius has been arrested in Florida on suspicion of battery and resisting arrest.

The 53-year-old actor was arrested around 2 a.m. and booked into Nassau County Jail at 5:45 a.m. Thursday, according to Nassau County Sheriff's Office's records and an arrest warrant obtained by USA TODAY. He was charged with two misdemeanors stemming from an alleged fight at a Fernandina Beach bar.

USA TODAY has reached out to Mabius' representative for comment.

Mabius appeared in court Friday morning, according to court records reviewed by USA TODAY. Conditions of his jail release prior to a next appearance on March 10 include maintaining no contact with a female victim who alleged the actor was "ripping a handful of her hair from her scalp" during an altercation at the bar, located about 30 miles northeast of Jacksonville, Florida.

According to the arresting deputy, the alleged victim gave a written statement claiming Mabius knocked her and another woman to the ground and started pulling her hair out of her scalp. The second woman who was knocked over was also later arrested for battery and resisting arrest without violence after other patrons said she was "being disrespectful" and spitting on them.

The alleged victim and another witness who spoke with deputies declined to press charges against either arrestee, per the arrest report.

Responding deputies say Mabius "became more belligerent" while he was outside with them following the alleged incident. After he allegedly "tried to stand up and walk behind" one of the investigating officers, other deputies "had to escort him back to the bench and placed him under arrest for resisting without violence."

Mabius' case is "awaiting trial," per his inmate profile. USA TODAY has reached out to the Nassau County Clerk for information about the actor's criminal case proceedings.

Mabius, who played Daniel Meade, the editor-in-chief and son of the publisher of fictional magazine Mode throughout "Ugly Betty's" run, also starred in Showtime's "The L Word" and the Hallmark Channel series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" as well as its many spinoff movies.
