Bedard was booked into jail on charges of domestic violence, assault, and resisting arrest. The actress posted bond but a few days later, she was rearrested for allegedly harassing a front desk clerk at a Beavercreek hotel.
According to TMZ, the responding officer attempted to deescalate the situation but Bedard remained belligerent. Police said Bedard appeared intoxicated.
Bedard, who voiced Pocahontas for the eponymous 1995 Disney film, allegedly charged at the responding officer. It reportedly took several cops to restrain and arrest the actress.
Bedard was charged with disorderly conduct. Despite her arrest days earlier, she was eventually released from custody without posting bail.
