Representatives for Hasselhoff and the Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.

Bach, who also went by Pamela Hasselhoff, made her screen debut in 1973 in an episode of the soap The Young and the Restless and followed it with appearances on the shows Otherworld and T.J. Hooker. In 1985, she starred in an episode of Knight Rider, during which time she met her future husband, Hasselhoff. The couple wed in December 1989 and welcomed two daughters, Taylor and Hayley.

Bach and Hasselhoff split in early 2006 after a contentious divorce. Bach accused Hasselhoff of domestic violence, allegations that Hasselhoff denied. In 2018, Hasselhoff married model Hayley Roberts, his third wife. Before Bach, he was married to actress Catherine Hickland.

Bach appeared in several episodes of Baywatch alongside Hasselhoff, as well as on episodes of Cheers, The Fall Guy, Sonny Spoon, and Sirens. Her movie credits included Appointment With Fear, Nudity Required, Route 66, More Than Puppy Love, and, in her final onscreen appearance, 2015’s Mansion of Blood.
