Kim Delaney of NYPD Blue fame will not face charges after her arrest for felony assault against her husband.

The 63-year-old actress and her husband James Morgan were both taken into custody in Marina del Rey on Saturday following two days of conflict. 

According to Morgan, 54, who married Delaney two and a half years ago, she tried to run him down with her vehicle. Police later arrested her and charged her with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury.

Her husband was also charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, according to police sources. 

Morgan was released on $20,000 bond the same day, while Delaney was released Tuesday, according to jail records, per NBC4LA.

According to TMZ, the actress appeared in court on Tuesday and LA prosecutors declined to file any charges against her and her husband.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office told the outlet that they didn’t have ‘sufficient evidence to move forward against either of them.’ 

According to the law enforcement sources, Delany made a call to the LA County Sheriff’s Department on Friday night in which she accused her husband of domestic violence against her.

Morgan was said to have left their home after the alleged domestic incident. 

But on Saturday morning, Delaney called the police again to report that Morgan had returned to their home against her wishes.

Sheriff’s deputies soon arrived to speak to Morgan, and during the conversation he played them a video that allegedly showed Delaney attempting to run him over with her car. 

After then speaking with the actress, police opted to arrest both her and Morgan at the scene.

TMZ previously reported that Delaney was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury for allegedly trying to use her vehicle as a weapon, while her husband was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.

According to police sources, the actress was charged in relation to allegedly driving her car toward Morgan, while he was charged for the couple’s row on Friday night.

She previously called police on Friday for an allegedly domestic violence incident. Both were arrested Saturday, and Delaney was charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury for allegedly trying to use her vehicle as a weapon; seen in 2018 in Minneapolis, Minn.

After the Friday night confrontation, sources told the publication that ‘paramedics arrived on scene to see if Kim and John were injured’ and that after they were both medically cleared, LA Sheriff’s deputies took them both to jail.

In addition to NYPD Blue, Delaney has starred on All My Children and Army Wives and had roles in Philly and CSI: Miami.

Delaney won an Emmy in 1997 for her role as Detective Diane Russell in the groundbreaking Stephen Bochco police drama NYPD Blue

Originally from Philadelphia, she started out as a model before turning to acting.

She earned a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in 1983 for All My Children. 

However, her personal life has been marred by struggles with alcoholism and brushes with the law.

In January 2024, Delaney was sued by a motorcyclist, named Dzhamal Badalov, who claimed she fled the scene after allegedly crashing her car into him in in November 2022.

In documents, obtained by TMZ at the time, witnesses to the incident alleged that Delaney was driving erratically prior to the alleged crash. 

In his lawsuit, Badalov says that he was stopped at a red light in November 2022 when Delaney allegedly crashed into his bike.

Badalov says that witnesses on the scene saw the television star swerving between lanes haphazardly as she drove down Venice Boulevard toward the intersection.

He said that the crash flung him from his motorcycle and into the intersection.

Badalov also says that Delaney initially tried to drive away after hitting his bike, but onlookers prevented her from escaping.

It’s unclear if Delaney attempted to communicate with Badalov or checked to see if he was injured during the interaction.

He goes on to claim that the actress then exited her vehicle and called up an unknown person on her phone.

However, Badalov says that Delaney appeared to be disoriented as she made the call, suggesting that she may have been under the influence of alcohol or other substances.

He alleged victim adds that Delaney apparently got him to speak with the person on the other end of the line, whom he claims offered to pay him an unspecified amount of money if he would allow the actress to leave the scene without calling police.

Badalov said he refused the alleged offer, and he says the person on the phone then told Delaney to flee the scene, though it’s unclear if he heard them on the phone’s speaker.

Delaney allegedly drove away before police could respond, leading Badalov to file his lawsuit. 

In April 2024, Delaney was ordered to do 50 hours of community service and complete the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Program (MADD) over the alleged 2022 incident.

In 2002, she was arrested in Malibu, California, after she refused a breathalyzer test after being pulled over by police and was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving; seen in 1997

Per RadarOnline, the star ‘was told she must not operate a vehicle without a valid driver’s license in her possession and liability insurance.’ 

In 2002, she was arrested in Malibu, California, after she refused a breathalyzer test after being pulled over by police and was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

Delaney later pleaded no contest to the charge, which earned her a fine, a mandatory drunk driving course and a two-year probation stint.

The following year, she reportedly checked into a rehab program following her departure from CSI Miami.

The alcohol-related issues escalated in 2005, when she lost custody of her son Jack Cortese, who was then 15.

He testified that she had put him in danger by forcing him to ride with her when she picked him up from a party while allegedly intoxicated. He also claimed that she had urge his friend to get in the car as well, though they refused to ride with her due to her apparently intoxicated state.

Cortese also testified that it was not the first time that his mother had driven him while drunk.

In September of 2011, Delaney was pulled off stage at an event honoring former Defense Secretary Robert Gates after she delivered an incoherent and slurred speech, leading attendees to believe that she was intoxicated.

Her first statement about the incident wasn’t until 2012, and she downplayed it to Entertainment Weekly, saying she ‘wasn’t feeling great’ when she delivered the speech and claiming there were ‘technical problems,’ but she didn’t mention any alleged substance use.
