“Officers arrived and took the suspect into custody for being in violation of his restraining order,” the statement concluded.

Court records in Los Angeles County indicated that the elder Leonard recently requested a restraining order against his son. Authorities have not confirmed whether the order was directly tied to Wednesday’s arrest. A hearing is scheduled for June 15.
Over the years, the father-son duo frequently appeared together at high-profile public events. In November 2023, Leonard posted a heartfelt birthday message to his son on social media. “So happy to be with my son Daniel this weekend!” Ray captioned the post. “I am so proud of you!!! Happy Birthday!!!”
