Ed Furlong pleads not guilty to battery charge

This week, Edward Furlong, the troubled star of Terminator 2, entered a not guilty plea in a Los Angeles court after facing battery charges for the third time in recent months.

He will remain in custody until a bail of $30,000 is posted.

A request from the actor’s lawyer to reduce the bail amount was rejected.

Last week, Furlong was arrested on accusations of domestic violence after purportedly assaulting his girlfriend.

This marks his third battery charge; he faced similar charges twice at the end of the previous year.

Edward Furlong is charged with battery for a 3rd time

In the early hours of Sunday morning, the 35-year-old actor was taken into custody in Los Angeles following yet another alleged incident of violence.

A mug shot showing the actor with bleary eyes surfaced on Tuesday.

Still in custody, the actor faces consequences from the recent attack on his partner, following two prior arrests.

When apprehended, it was reported that Edward had an outstanding warrant from a previous charge.

Just two months prior, he made headlines following an arrest for domestic violence resulting from a public altercation with his girlfriend at Los Angeles’ LAX Airport on October 30.

The woman involved displayed visible marks on her arm, leading to Edward’s bail being set at $50,000.

The day before Thanksgiving, November 21, marked his second arrest within a month for allegedly assaulting the same girlfriend.

Due to recent events, the American History X star has been prohibited from unsupervised time with his six-year-old son, Ethan, following a court order obtained by his ex-wife, Rachael Bella.

The young boy tested positive for cocaine after being in Edward’s care earlier this year, though it’s still unclear how this occurred.

Edward, who has sought rehabilitation multiple times, has had his share of legal troubles over the years.

His turbulent personal life includes a lawsuit from an ex-girlfriend, who is 14 years his senior, accusing him of ‘assault,’ along with his ex-wife Rachael Bella filing for divorce and subsequently obtaining a restraining order against him.
