Former Disney Channel Star Orlando Brown Arrested for Domestic Violence

“That’s So Raven” star Orlando Brown has been arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, Ohio police said.

Officer Torres of the Lima Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that the former Disney Channel star was arrested Thursday for domestic violence by threats. 

An arrest report obtained by People magazine alleges that a person claiming to be a relative said Brown was acting “crazy” and “came at him with a hammer and knife in a threatening manner.” 

The relative also told police that Brown had been staying at his home for about two weeks because Brown “is homeless, and he did not want him to go to a homeless shelter.”
