Skai Jackson, who starred in shows Jessie and Bunk'd, has joined the list of Disney alums who have had encounters with the law. As reported by TMZ, the actress was arrested last week on account of domestic battery of her boyfriend. Report claims that deputies were called to Universal CityWalk after security spotted Jackson and her boyfriend getting into a physical altercation.
The couple denied getting into physical fights and instead claimed that they were happily engaged and expecting a baby together. However, in the video captured by the security, Jackson was allegedly seen pushing her boyfriend more than once.
As a result, she was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery, cited, and released a few hours later. Now it's up to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office to decide whether the charges imposed on Jackson are worthy of official retaliation. As for her boyfriend, there's no information about his identity and whereabouts.
