Devin Ratray, star of “Home Alone,” arrested for allegedly strangling girlfriend
Ratray’s girlfriend filed a police complaint days after the convention, alleging that he physically attacked her during a dispute at an OKC hotel.
The 44-year-old was put into the Midwest City Jail on Wednesday after handing himself in to officials, according to reports.
Ratray was arrested after an alleged incident with his now-ex-girlfriend in Oklahoma City earlier this month.
The actor, who portrayed Buzz McCallister in the first two Home Alone films, was in town to lead Oklahoma Pop Christmas Con, a two-day holiday event with meet-and-greets, movie screenings, food vendors, and costume competitions.
Ratray’s girlfriend filed a police complaint days after the convention, alleging that he physically attacked her during a dispute at an OKC hotel.
The lady claims the confrontation started when they were out drinking, according to an affidavit obtained by TMZ. Two admirers reportedly approached the pair throughout the night and begged for Ratray’s signature.
Ratray grew enraged, according to the lady, when she handed the fans two cards without charging them.
When the couple arrived to their hotel room, the fight was said to have resumed. Ratray was inebriated, according to the victim, and started shoving, beating, and strangling her before telling her, “This is how you die.”
Later that night, police arrived at their hotel room, and the two apparently parted ways.
Ratray was charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation, as well as domestic assault and battery, after the lady submitted a police complaint on December 10.
According to reports, the star was freed on $25,000 bond minutes following his mug shot.
The actor, who also appeared in last year’s Home Sweet Home Alone, has disputed the charges, stating that their argument never became violent.
