Police were called to the Stereotype bar at around 2 a.m. on October 27, where officers say Padelecki got into a verbal fight with some people inside the bar. He was taken into custody after he allegedly struck the bar’s assistant manager and general manager in the face, after they had escorted him outside the establishment. His bond was set at $5,000, according to court documents.

As Supernatural is winding down, Padalecki is next set to star and executive produce Walker, a reimagining of CBS’ long-running 1990s action/crime series Walker, Texas Ranger. The series remains in development at the CW.
