How Many Times Has Alec Baldwin Been Arrested?

Alec Baldwin's arrest record spans back decades

How many times has Alec Baldwin been arrested? Let us count the incidents — although it may take a while, as his black-and-white taxi rides date back to 1995. Spoiler alert: he's actually been arrested four times. And the last one looks like it could land him in the big house.

Baldwin's explosive temper is legendary, so it's only fitting that his first collar was for attacking a pap. People reports that Baldwin and Kim Basinger were returning home from the hospital with their newborn, Ireland Baldwin, when the defensive dad allegedly broke a photographer's nose. He was charged with misdemeanor battery but was ultimately acquitted. Then, per the New York Times, in 2014, Baldwin was arrested after becoming "belligerent" when cops stopped him for riding his bike the wrong way down 5th Avenue. The incident resulted in him vowing to New York Magazine that he was retiring from public life.

Baldwin's temper landed him back at the precinct in 2018. Page Six reports that he got into a parking spot spat that ended with Baldwin allegedly punching a man in the face. He was ordered to undergo anger management classes. Finally, per CNN, in February 2023, Baldwin was formally charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for his involvement in the 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." If convicted, he faces a maximum of 18 months behind bars.

He's a hothead and an asshole, but I'm pleased to see that he's never intentionally attacked a woman (at least as far as we know). Although I abhor violence, and think anyone who engages in it is an idiot, I have to say that the first three offensives are forgivable. Obviously, the manslaughter of Halyna Hutchins is more more significant and tragic, even if it was an accident (albeit an accident that likely could have been prevented).
