Disheveled William H. Macy Caught At Court After Wife Felicity Huffman's Arrest
April 22 2019, Updated 11:26 p.m. ET
William H. Macy was caught arriving at the Federal detention center in Los Angeles Tuesday, March 12 where his wife Felicity Huffman is currently being held with others over an alleged college cheating scam, and RadarOnline.com has all the photos of the disheveled actor.
Huffman was arrested after authorities claimed the star, along with fellow actress Lori Loughlin and other Hollywood power players, were involved in a college admissions scandal.
“Thirteen defendants were taken into custody this morning in the Los Angeles area, including defendant Huffman,” Department of Justice spokesperson Thom Mrozek told RadarOnline.com. “Those 13 defendants will be making their initial court appearances this afternoon beginning sometime after 2:00 p.m.”
It's unclear if Macy was involved in the scandal as he has yet to be charged. When RadarOnline.com asked about the actor's involvement, if any, Christina Sterling, PIO for the U.S.Attorney’s Office Dist. Of Mass. said: “I cannot comment, however, it is an ongoing investigation.”

Loughlin has not yet been arrested since she's out of town for work, but Huffman will appear in a court hearing for her alleged involvement in the college admissions scheme.
“Lori Loughlin is out of the country,” DOJ U.S. Attorney’s Office for District Of Massachusetts spokesperson Christina Dilorio-Sterling told RadarOnline.com. “She was contacted by federal authorities and told to turn herself in.”
Readers know Loughlin, 54, and Huffman, 56, were hit with arrest warrants for “conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud” on Monday, March 11.
According to the Massachusetts District Court complaint, defendants allegedly conspired to “bribe college entrance exam administrators to facilitate cheating on college entrance exams, to bribe varsity coaches and administrators at elite universities to designate certain applicants as recruited athletes or as other favored candidates, thereby facilitating the applicants’ admission to those universities and to use the façade of a charitable organization to conceal the nature and source of the bride payments.”
The Fuller House star and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Fianulli allegedly paid $500,000 to pretend their daughters were crew athletes.
Former Desperate Housewives star Huffman allegedly paid $15,000 in a college entrance exam cheating scheme for her oldest daughter.
According to court documents exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com, Huffman, 56, and her spouse allegedly made a charitable contribution of $15,000 to Key Worldwide Foundation to “participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her oldest daughter."
