Actor Robert Vito, best known for his role in the 2003 film Spy Kids 3D: Game Over, was arrested Friday night on domestic violence charges.

According to sources, law enforcement responded to a call about an alleged domestic violence incident at Vito’s home in the Los Angeles area. Police arrived at the scene after the altercation apparently escalated between Vito and his girlfriend.

Sources close to the situation revealed that the incident started as a verbal argument between Vito and his girlfriend. However, the situation soon turned physical when Vito allegedly pushed his girlfriend into some furniture.

Additionally, officers were told that Vito threw his youngest son onto a couch, knocking him down. Law enforcement quickly arrived on the scene to assess the situation and check on both parties involved.

While the couple’s youngest son was reportedly unharmed, officers noticed visible marks on the girlfriend’s body. These signs were sufficient to justify the felony charge.

After an evaluation, law enforcement arrested Vito for felony domestic violence because they had enough evidence to proceed with the charge. Authorities continued to investigate the case to make sure both the girlfriend and child were safe.

Robert Vito was taken into custody around 8:00 PM PT Friday night and booked shortly before 9:30 PM PT. After being processed, he was released on $50,000 bond early Saturday morning.

There has been no public statement from Vito regarding the incident, and attempts to reach him or his representatives for comment were unsuccessful.
