 The 60-year-old actor, most recently known for his
impersonations of U.S. President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night
Live," was arrested on Nov. 2 and charged with misdemeanor
assault and harassment, police said. He was released the same
day and was met by a swarm of camera crews.
Baldwin last appeared in court for this incident on Nov. 26 for
an arraignment hearing.
"Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously
misstated as today's story," a post on his foundation's Twitter
account said after the incident. "However, the assertion that I
punched anyone over a parking spot is false. I wanted to go on
the record stating as much."
Baldwin won an Emmy award in 2017 for his scathing impressions
of Trump. He is also known for his role in NBC's "30 Rock"
sitcom.

Baldwin has a history of losing his temper. In 2014, he was given a
summons for disorderly conduct after an argument with police when he
was stopped for riding his bike down a one-way street in New York.
It was not immediately clear what followed the summons notice.
In 2011, he was thrown off an American Airlines flight after
refusing to stop playing a game on his phone before take-off.
A year later, Baldwin denied punching a photographer who was trying
to take photos of him with his then-fiancee, yoga teacher Hilaria
Thomas. Baldwin and Thomas married in 2012 and have four children.
