DISNEY Channel star Skai Jackson has been arrested after allegedly pushing her boyfriend at Universal CityWalk.
Jackson, who starred in the Disney shows Jessie and Bunk’d, was arrested last week for alleged domestic violence.
Sources told the website that Jackson and her boyfriend had denied any alleged altercation in Hollywood, California, said TMZ.
Jackson, 22, was reportedly arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery, cited, and released a few hours later.
She told the website that the couple were happily engaged and expecting a baby together.
The case is to be reviewed by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office.
The U.S. Sun has contacted the district attorney for further comment and updates on the case, and whether it intends to press charges.
Police were called to Universal CityWalk after security allegedly spotted Jackson pushing her boyfriend more than once, sources claimed.
“While inside the Universal Studios Theme Park, a domestic incident occurred involving Skai Jackson. Based on the initial investigation, it was determined Ms. Jackson was the primary aggressor and was arrested for misdemeanor Spousal Battery,” the Los Angeles Sheriff Department told The U.S. Sun.
Security was claimed to have seen the alleged altercation and then detained the pair, according to TMZ.
Deputy sheriffs looked at video footage of the alleged incident and then arrested Jackson.
The star’s manager and agent have been contacted for comment.
Deputy Tracy Koerner, from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, told The U.S. Sun that West Hollywood deputies responded to 1000 Universal Studios Blvd regarding an alleged domestic violence call.
They attended the alleged incident at 5:00 pm last Friday, August 9.
Two people were “being detained by security personnel,” upon the deputies’ arrival, Koerner added.
A woman was “arrested without incident,” she said.
