Farentino, a Golden Globe-winning actor who has appeared on shows such as Dynasty, ER and Melrose Place, was being held on $20,000 bail early Monday at the Parker Center in Downtown Los Angeles. He also starred in the 1977 TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth.

Farentino is no stranger to legal trouble: He was charged with stalking his former girlfriend, Tina Sinatra in 1993. A restraining order was issued against him after he entered a plea of no contest. Prior to that, he was arrested in Vancouver, British Columbia after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police intercepted a package containing 3.2 grams of cocaine being sent to his hotel room.
