Though, I don't usually post entertainment or crime news, I found this particulary interesting. Crimes commited by actors and actresses get a lot of attention, but usually they are relatively minor in comparison. Though most celebrity news offers little substance, this is an extremely disturbing report. More of the story can be read at the source below.

An actor who appeared in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" has been arrested in connection with an attack on his former girlfriend, authorities said Tuesday.

Shelley Malil, 43, was arrested Monday night as he got off a train in Oceanside, Lt. Phil Brust of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.

Malil had taken the train from Los Angeles to meet with his attorney, who along with family and friends had persuaded him to turn himself in, police said.

On Sunday night about 15 miles (25 kilometers) east in San Marcos, deputies answering reports of screams for help and breaking glass found a woman with multiple stab wounds and cuts on her face, with no suspect at the scene.
