Actor Michael Madsen was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony child endangerment. Madsen was taken into custody in Malibu, Ca., then released early this morning and was in decent spirits on his way out, calling the whole incident a “big misunderstanding.” So what the heck happened exactly? According to law enforcement, Madsen got into a a physical fight with his juvenile son, and when cops arrived, they observed several signs of injury on his son. Madsen also appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at the time. The son did not require medical attention, but Madsen was booked on a charge of child endangerment with cruelty to a child – a felony charge. Then what? Madsen’s attorney, Perry Wander, tells TMZ that “[Michael Madsen] found his son smoking pot and they got in an argument when he tried to take it away.”
