Days of Our Lives alum Casey Deidrick was arrested in Nashville over the weekend in connection with a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.

The actor, 37, was taken into custody by the Metropolitan Nashville Police on Sunday afternoon and charged with domestic assault and interfering with a 911 call, according to Davidson County Sheriff’s Office records reviewed by Entertainment Weekly. Deidrick was released on a $2,500 bond in the early hours of Monday.

According to an affidavit reviewed by EW, police were called to Deidrick’s residence in the Bordeaux neighborhood of Nashville to speak with him about an alleged domestic disturbance. Deidrick’s partner claimed that he accused her of recording him after a verbal altercation that morning. She said he wrapped his arms around her from behind, grabbed her arm tightly, and forcibly seized the phone from her. She further said she asked for the phone back in fear so that she could call 911, and Deidrick eventually returned the phone on the condition that she move out of the residence that same day.

Representatives for Deidrick didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Deidrick gave police a slightly different account of the incident, according to the affidavit. While he said that he did think his partner was recording him after a verbal altercation and he did forcibly take the phone from her, he also claimed that she placed her hands around his neck. Police said they could not produce any evidence to corroborate that claim.

Deidrick has a hearing scheduled for Feb. 24. at a Davidson County court.

The actor is best known for his role as Chad DiMera on the long-running daytime soap Days of Our Lives. Chad was at first introduced as the dark and brooding boyfriend of Mia McCormick (Taylor Spreitler) and later revealed as the illegitimate child of mafioso Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo).

Deidrick portrayed DiMera from 2009 to 2013, when his character jumped in front of a bullet that eventually required him to be flown out of Salem for emergency surgery. When the character returned in 2014, he was portrayed by Billy Flynn, who plays DiMera to this day.

Deidrick has also appeared on TV series like Eye Candy and Teen Wolf, and in films like the Hallmark original A Very Merry Bridesmaid. He most recently portrayed Max Parish on all four seasons of the CW drama In the Dark.
