Devin Ratray, best known for playing Buzz McCallister in the Home Alone films, has been arrested on charges of domestic assault and battery by strangulation. The 44-year-old actor turned himself in to police in Oklahoma City after an alleged incident earlier this month.
According to local reports, Ratray is accused of attacking his girlfriend following an argument over autograph cards. The dispute allegedly began at a bar after the woman gave away signed cards without charging, and escalated when they returned to their hotel room. An affidavit claims Ratray told her 'this is how you die' while choking her, and she bit his hand to escape.
The woman reportedly suffered bruises on her face and chest, and pain in her right arm. Ratray was released on a $25,000 bond and denies the allegations. His representatives previously stated the couple had a non-physical argument and have since separated.
Ratray reprised his role as Buzz in the recent Disney+ reboot Home Sweet Home Alone. The arrest may affect plans for a potential reunion of original cast members, which Ratray had hinted at earlier.
