After his arrest on February 23, Madsen reportedly spent the night at the police station in Malibu before being issued a $ 500 citation for misdemeanor trespassing.
The arrest happened six days after the Thelma & Louise alum was said to have been evicted from his $ 5.3M Malibu mansion, and a month after his son Hudson Lee died, age 26, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Hudson had been an active Army sergeant stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, and he confessed to Michael that he wanted to leave the Army and start a family with his wife Carlie but they had fertility problems.
‘I found the biggest fertility clinic in [California]. And so I called Hud and his wife and I said, “I got you guys a doctor. It’s going to cost a lot of money, ”’Madsen recalled on The Up & Adam Show on April 11.
