10 Actors Arrested Whilst Filming Movies

11. Vince Vaughn

Funnyman Vince Vaughn proved more than ever why he should stay away from dramatic roles after he was arrested in 2001 during filming for the critically panned thriller Domestic Disturbance. Vaughn, co-star Steve Buscemi and screenwriter Scott Rosenberg visited the Firebelly Lounge bar in Wilmington, North Carlolina and became embroiled in a brawl in the car park with two local men who had picked a fight with Vaughn after one became enraged at his girlfriend taking a fancy to the Dodgeball star.

Police on patrol witnessed the men fighting and hastened to break it up however by the time they had done so, Buscemi had been stabbed above the eye, in the jaw, throat and arm and was rushed to a local emergency room. The fight broke out once more and police resorted to subduing the chaos with pepper spray.

Timothy William Fogerty, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for allegedly stabbing Buscemi. Vaughn, who was maced in the incident, was arrested alongside Rosenberg on misdemeanor assault charges. Vaughn pleaded no contest, and the charges were eventually dropped.
