Hallmark Star and ‘Ugly Betty' Alum Arrested in Florida
Mabius, who is best known for his lengthy series of Hallmark credits and regular appearances in the early aughts sitcom Ugly Betty, was arrested after an altercation in a Nassau County bar during the early morning hours on Thursday, Feb. 20, according to local CW affiliate WJXT.

The Nassau County Sheriff's Office told reporters that the incident occurred at about 2 a.m. at The Goat on Lofton Square Court, an Irish-themed bar in Fernandina Beach, Fla. A police report reviewed by several outlets, including People and The Florida-Times Union, accused Mabius and a 40-year-old woman of creating a disturbance. Law enforcement said the two were intoxicated.
Witnesses told the outlet that the dispute peaked after the bartender asked the Signed, Sealed, Delivered star and the unnamed woman to leave when the duo allegedly began spitting on several patrons.
The 53-year-old actor has also been accused of pushing another woman to the ground and pulling out 'fistfuls' of her hair.
Deputies told WJXT that they separated Mabius and the woman when they arrived on scene but that the actor became 'increasingly belligerent' when he was held outside the bar for questioning. Law enforcement officials also claimed that the actor was generally uncooperative with the investigation.
Neither Mabius nor a rep for the actor has publicly addressed the arrest report.
'This type of behavior will not be tolerated in our community, regardless of celebrity status. Our deputies quickly dealt with an uncooperative individual, and we're thankful no one was seriously injured during this unfortunate incident,' Sheriff Bill Leeper said in a statement shared with WJXT.
The victim, who remained anonymous in the report, ultimately declined to press charges. Mabius and the woman were then arrested for simple battery and resisting without violence.
In addition to his many on-screen credits, Mabius is also a father of two. He shares sons Maxfield, 18, and Rylan, 16, with his wife Ivy Sherman.

After ‘Christmas at Sea,' Will There Be a Hallmark Cruise Movie?
All aboard the ship of every holiday lover's dreams! Hallmark's new docuseries, Christmas at Sea, chronicles the network's first-ever Hallmark Christmas Cruise and features some of your favorite Hallmark stars. Hallmark icons Tyler Hynes and Wes Brown were among the stars who took part in the inaugural cruise and had a life-changing experience alongside Hallmark fans. Hynes told TV Insider that the cruise was a place of pure 'warmth and joy.' He added, 'To kind of have this traveling circus where we all get to go around together and make these memories, it's unlike anything that I can think of, and I don't know that it's going to last forever, so I'm just deeply grateful to participate while we can.' Brown recognizes that there's 'never been a fandom like this before.' He revealed that there are '73,000 people on the waiting list for this [year's] cruise.' The actor admitted that he's 'just never seen that many smiles and that many joyous people. And I am being quite serious.' When he entered through the terminal to get on board, he noticed 'people decked out in Christmas gear, just screaming their heads off like we were rock and roll stars.' And everyone kept that energy on the boat. Hynes even got the opportunity to take his boot shot tradition to the high seas. 'It's something that I had hoped maybe it would make some few people happy,' he said. 'The fact that it's grown and it's become this very organized thing, it's beyond anything I'm capable of, and again, has everything to do with the audience who participates and really light that fire.' Hallmark Media / Kim Nunneley The four-part series covers the first Hallmark Christmas Cruise, and there's already another one in the works. Let's hope this means we get Christmas at Sea Season 2! 'There's lots of footage that no one ever saw, let alone the chaos of the different camera crews running around catching us in the audience are doing our live performances on stage,' Hynes said. 'There's probably some ridiculousness there that that didn't fall into this documentary series that should be like a part five and six.' TV Insider also asked Hynes and Brown about any changes they'd made for the second sail, and they had some very clear ideas. 'More shirtless Andrew Walker, maybe three microphones for Jonathan Bennett, and maybe have a live feed into everybody's cabins so that they can't escape his voice,' Hynes joked. 'It was pretty perfect. The games we play, the audience participation, the fact that folks have organized doing a boot shot tradition all together at one end of the ship. I love not knowing what's going to happen. It's fun to be a little naughty and just go do your thing. Working with people that are in front of you, and take it moment to moment. There's nothing I would change, except for shirtless Andrew Walker, Paul's been working out a lot. Maybe his shirt needs to come off.' Brown revealed that a few more music shows will likely be added. 'I may play with a couple other guys. Erin Cahill's husband, Paul Freeman, talked about doing something together. So I think we're going to just add some more show elements to it. I haven't been told everything, but I'm certain it's going to be another blast.' Now that Hallmark fans have gotten the Christmas at Sea docuseries, could we get a holiday movie set on a cruise? 'I feel like it would almost be weird if we didn't now,' Brown admitted. 'If it doesn't exist, I think it's coming,' Hynes teased. 'I think there's a Christmas cruise movie coming, and I think the person who you'd want in that is the person you will get.' , Mondays, 8/7c, Hallmark Channel Solve the daily Crossword

Hamas-cheering Irish band Kneecap to play pair of sold out rooftop shows in NYC
Israel-hating Irish rap group Kneecap, which is facing terrorism charges for brandishing a Hezbollah flag and praising Hamas at a show in London last year, will play a pair of sold-out shows in New York this October. The controversial Belfast-based group is known for spewing hateful pro-terrorist propaganda from the stage, including openly supporting the 'Palestinian struggle' a day after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel and performing in front of a backdrop that read 'F–k Israel Free Palestine.' 3 Kneecap is known for spewing vile anti-Israel rhetoric from the stage. Scott A Garfitt/Invision/AP Advertisement Kneecap member Mo Chara, whose real name is Liam O'Hanna, was charged under the Terrorism Act in Britain last month for waving the flag of the banned group while allegedly saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah.' At a court hearing in London in June, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the court, hoisting signs that read 'Defend Kneecap' and 'Drop the Charges.' 3 Kneecap rapper Mo Chara — real name Liam O'Hanna — is facing terrorism charges in London for brandishing the flag of Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah. @AJCGlobal/X Advertisement The band has defended their actions, saying, 'We deny this 'offense' and will vehemently defend ourselves,' describing the charge against the rapper as an attempt to silence them. 3 The group has accused Israel of committing 'genocide' from the stage and slammed the US for supporting the Jewish state. Getty Images Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said the rapper is 'well within his rights' to support the Palestinians, but not to defy a law that criminalizes displaying signs or banners that give a reasonable suspicion of supporting a known terror group, according to the BBC. Chara has also accused Israel of committing 'genocide' in Gaza and hit out at the US for its support of the Jewish state. Advertisement 'They're bombing them from the skies. If you're not calling it a genocide, what the f–k are you calling it?' he said to raucous cheers on stage while a screen behind the band read, 'The US government arms and funds Israel despite their war crimes.' The group will be performing at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on Oct. 1 and 10.
