The 29-year-old was arrested earlier this week in California, according to official records, and is now facing a felony charge. He was released the same day.
Sean Nortfleet, the eldest grandson of "The Shining" star Jack Nicholson, was arrested on Tuesday, August 5, on a felony domestic violence charge. The music producer allegedly attacked a woman — who remains unidentified — in Los Angeles.
According to arrest records obtained by The U.S. Sun, Sean was booked at around 5 p.m., and was released later that same day on a $50,000 bond. He is expected to appear in court on August 26. If found guilty, he could face up to four years in state prison, per The U.S. Sun.
Sean, who was born Sean Knight Nicholson, is the eldest son of Jennifer Nicholson. The actress shares Sean and his brother, Duke, with her ex-husband, Mark Nortfleet. The former couple were married from 1997 to 2003.
Per a 2019 interview, Sean majored in Film Studies at Emerson College. He now describes himself as a music producer on his Instagram bio. Meanwhile, Duke has launched a career as an actor, having starred in Jordan Peele's "Us" and "Dreamland."
