Welling’s blood alcohol level was at or above the 0.08% legal limit. He was arrested and then processed by the Siskiyou County Sheriff‘s Office around 2 a.m. local time. He released from custody just after 7 a.m. and issued a citation for a misdemeanor.

Yreka police and representatives for Welling did not immediately respond Wednesday to The Times’ requests for comment.

An arraignment for the “Lucifer” and “Cheaper by the Dozen” actor has been scheduled for March 11.

Welling has not yet publicly commented on the arrest. His most recent post on Instagram was from the day of his arrest and bore a birthday tribute to his wife, Jessica Rose Lee Welling. The couple wed in 2019 and share two sons.
