Steely Dan's Donald Fagen was reportedly arrested on Monday night on charges of misdemeanor harassment and for assaulting his wife, Libby Titus.
The complainant in the case was not actually named in the New York Police incident report, but according to CNN, the age and address match Titus. The alleged incident reportedly took place on the couple's home in Manhattan on Monday.
According to the report filed, the 67 year old singer reputedly grabbed the complainant and allegedly shoved her onto the marble window frame in their bedroom that knocked her off to the ground. The alleged incident reportedly caused her "bruising and swelling to her right arm, as well as substantial pain." A police spokesperson told CNN that it is still unclear if the complainant received a medical attention after being knocked down.
An insider said to Rolling Stone that the alleged incident started after the couple involved in a "verbal dispute" that eventually escalated to physical abuse.
Fagen was later arrested at his New York home, where he shares with his wife. He was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court and was released on Tuesday morning without bail. A protection order was also released by the court, keeping away Fagen from Titus, as per The New York Post.
And when the Post asked Titus for a comment and if she would file charges against Fagen. "I just spoke to his manager. I called him, and we're friends. I don't know what to do. I can't talk to you about it. I'm not going to press charges," she told the site and refused to disclose further details.
Fagen who launched the Steely Dan band in 1972 exchanged vows with Titus in 1993.
Fagen and his bandmates were known for there hit songs like Rikki Don't Lose that Number, Reelin' In the Years and Deacon Blues. They also proved that they are legend after they sold more than 40 million albums.
