Empire Actor, Bryshere Grey Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge

Empire Actor, Bryshere Grey Arrested On Domestic Violence Ch

 

Bryshere Gray, who starred as Hakeem on the Fox drama Empire, was arrested near Phoenix on Monday after his wife told police he assaulted her for hours and choked her unconscious at their home Sunday night.

Local police said the actor was arrested early Monday outside his home in suburban Goodyear, Arizona.

When the officers got to their home in Goodyear, Arizona, Gray refused to come outside and barricaded himself inside the house overnight.

Police called Goodyear SWAT and Crisis Negotiations to the scene to assist before he eventually surrendered himself to authorities.

He was taken into custody without incident a little after 7 a.m and was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on domestic violence charges.

Goodyear Police said they responded to a 911 call made at about 10:15 p.m. Sunday. The caller said an adult female allegedly told him that she had been assaulted by her husband at their home. She named Gray as the suspect and identified herself as his wife.

In a press release, police said the woman had flagged down a bystander at a local gas station and told the driver that she had been assaulted for several hours. Police said she clearly was injured and told them her husband had choked her to the point where she lost consciousness.

Her injuries were non-life-threatening but she was taken to the hospital where she was treated for her injuries and released, police said, adding that detectives and a Victim’s Advocate “continued to assist her after her discharge from the hospital.”

Gray appeared in all 102 episodes of Empire, which wrapped its six-year run on Fox in April. He co-starred as Hakeem Lyon, a fame-obsessed rising rapper and youngest son of Lucious and Cookie Lyon (Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson). He earned nominations for BET, Image, and Teen Choice awards for the role.

His credits also include the indie features Sprinter, Canal Street, and Honey: Rise Up and Dance.
