Timothy Busfield Arrested: Melissa Gilbert on Speakerphone
Actor Timothy Busfield, 68, faces arrest following allegations of unlawful sexual conduct with two child actors, according to an arrest warrant issued January 9th in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The warrant details a concerning incident involving Busfield's wife, actress Melissa Gilbert, who was reportedly on speakerphone during a conversation Busfield had with a detective prior to the warrant being issued.
The Albuquerque Police Department obtained the warrant based on evidence suggesting Busfield engaged in inappropriate behavior. Specific details of the alleged conduct are outlined in the warrant, though the document remains sealed to protect the identity of the victims. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that the investigation began several months ago, prompted by reports of misconduct.
