Trailer Park Boys fans who've been binge-watching the show's 10th season since it premiered on Netflix last week were no doubt shocked to hear that Mike Smith, who plays kind-hearted kitty-lover Bubbles, was arrested for misdemeanour domestic battery in L.A. on Friday.

Smith was released on $20,000 bail four hours after being charged, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. 

Today the Trailer Park Boys released the following statement on their Facebook page: 

Regarding Mike Smith's involvement in an incident that occurred early Friday, April 1st in Hollywood, following are statements issued by the participants:

Georgia Ling, described as the victim in this incident, stated: “Mike and I did indeed have a heavy argument but it saddens me the way things are being reported and the way it was handled by the police. At no point did I feel I was in danger, otherwise I would've called the police myself, which I did not. The police were called by others not present in the room who mistakenly perceived the argument to be something other than what it was. When the officers arrived I tried to assure them there was no real issue, but they proceeded to arrest Mike".
