TORONTO - A misdemeanour domestic battery charge has been dropped against "Trailer Park Boys" actor Mike Smith a month after his arrest in Los Angeles.
Smith, who plays the character Bubbles on the Canadian cult comedy, was arrested on April 1 after an incident at a Hollywood hotel involving a woman.
He was released on bail hours later, after being booked on suspicion of misdemeanour domestic battery, and had been set to appear in a L.A. court last Friday.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's office said Monday that Smith's charge had been dropped.
Spokesman Frank Mateljan said the office decided not to pursue the charge "due to lack of sufficient evidence."
Smith had denied any wrongdoing in a written statement issued shortly after his arrest, saying the woman involved in the incident was a friend of his with whom he had a "loud and heated dispute."
