Theresa Randle, known for her role in the 1995 movie Bad Boys, is making headlines after allegedly getting arrested in Los Angeles. The incident reportedly occurred on October 5, but she was arrested two days later. The reason behind Randle's arrest is still unclear.

According to a report by TMZ, Theresa Randle was arrested for alleged assault. The publication reported that cops received a call from a house in an LA area on October 5. As the call was made regarding an assault, Randle was not at the scene when the officials reported.

Randle's alleged arrest took place two days later when the officials received another call from the same house. The call was made regarding a possible domestic issue and the violation of a restraining order. The publication has reported "felony assault" as the reason behind Randle's arrest.

Per the report, Theresa Randle was not cooperative during the arrest. Although she allegedly appeared in court on October 9, the District Attorney rejected the case.

So far, Randle has not reacted to the controversy. She has been approached for a statement and more details about the case and has yet to respond.

She was last seen in the 2020 movie Bad Boys for Life. While the actress was expected to reprise her role as Martin Lawrence's character's wife in Bad Boys 4, it was later allegedly revealed that she would not return to the role.

Many believed Theresa Randle's health issues might be why she did not join the movie's cast. A publication by Variety affirmed the allegations, claiming that Tasha Smith had since replaced her in the upcoming Bad Boys 4.

For the unversed, Bad Boys is an action comedy that stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as two detectives in Miami. The plot follows the story of the two detectives, who have only 72 hours to find drugs worth $100 million. Things get complicated as they have a strict deadline before Internal Affairs shuts them down. They even have to switch places to solve the case, which also involves a murder. Directed by Michael Bay, the movie became a blockbuster and was followed by two other movies.
