Mark Burnett Won’t Face Criminal Charges From Tom Arnold Scuffle
- 6 years ago
Television producer Mark Burnett won’t face criminal charges stemming from a reported scuffle with Tom Arnold in September.
The city attorney declined to file charges in the matter on Wednesday due to insufficient evidence.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department told TheWrap in September that Arnold had filed battery charges against Burnett a day after he accused the “Apprentice” creator of “choking” him at an Emmys party. Arnold said that he would file a police report after he said Burnett had attacked him after going “apesh–.”
Burnett’s wife Roma Downey said that Arnold had ambushed her husband and her, leaving her with a bruise on her hand. Arnold subsequently called Downey a liar.
