Actor and singer Naya Rivera has been arrested in West Virginia on charges of domestic battery. The Glee star, well-known for her role as cheerleader Santana Lopez, was arraigned on the misdemeanour charge last night, US time, after allegedly striking her husband Ryan Dorsey in the head while they were on a walk with their two-year-old son.

She was brought before a magistrate court in Kanawha County, West Virginia, after being arrested at a family home at about 9:30pm on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.

The 30-year-old actor had filed for divorce from Dorsey, also an actor, back in 2016, but the pair made amends in October and the separation was called off. They’ve been married since 2014.

Rivera is the second Glee actor to get into trouble with the law. The other is Rivera’s former boyfriend Mark Salling, who was arrested on child pornography charges in 2015.
