'NYPD Blue' Star Kim Delaney Charged With Misdemeanor Over Alleged Hit-and-Run, Set to Appear in Court Next Week

Kim Delaney has been slapped with a misdemeanor for allegedly slamming into a motorcyclist, who said the NYPD Blue actress fled the scene. Court records obtained by RadarOnline.com show that Delaney was handed a hit-and-run property damage charge over the November 2022 incident, and she's due in court on January 30.

As this outlet reported, a name named Dzhamal Badalov sued the actress, claiming she rear-ended him while he was stopped at the light. He also accused her of driving erratically down Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles before allegedly hitting his bike.

Badalov claimed bystanders witnessed Delaney swerving in and out of lanes before allegedly running into his motorcycle and sending him flying toward the intersection.

According to the lawsuit, the Emmy Award-winning actress tried driving away after the crash but was stopped by witnesses. He claimed Delaney — who played Detective Diane Russell on the ABC crime series — seemed out of sorts, suggesting she might have been intoxicated.

TMZ obtained a photo of the alleged crash, showing a black Mercedes stopped on the crosswalk line at a red light. A motorcycle can be seen on its side in the crosswalk, appearing to land just inches away from the busy intersection.

According to California law, any time someone is involved in an auto accident that results in property damage, he or she is "required to immediately stop and exchange information or leave information in a place where it will be discovered."

That's where the hit-and-run property damage charge comes in.

Badalov is suing Delaney for damages — with their court date set for next week.
