INCIDENT REPORT
NAME: Mickey Rourke
LOCATION: Los Angles, California
ARREST: July 18, 1994
CHARGE: Spousal abuse
Actor-boxer Mickey Rourke and the model-actress Carre Otis met while making an X-rated film Wild Orchid. Their on-screen electricity led to a romance and then marriage. Five months later, Ms. Otis was hospitalized for depression. In 1991, while on location with Mr. Rourke, Ms. Otis was rushed to a New Mexico hospital with a bullet wound in her shoulder. She told police that her husband didn't shoot her, explaining that she had moved a bag that contained a .357 Magnum and it accidentally went off.
On July 18, 1994, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested Mr. Rourke for allegedly
slapping and kicking Ms.Otis. He pleaded innocent to the charges. The couple then separated and later divorced. On December 12, a California judge dismissed the spousal abuse charge against Mr. Rourke after Ms.Otis stopped cooperating with the Los Angeles prosecutors. Early in 1995, during Fashion Week in New York City, a yearly event for the fashion industry, Ms. Otis attempted to relaunch her modeling career.
Rumors, thought to have been spread by Ms.Otis, began to circulate: her ex-husband was
said to be stalking her. This got Mr. Rourke banned from many of the fashion show's events. The former couple's close encounters at the shows and at parties made frontpage headlines, upstaging even the designers. For example, at one party Mr. Rourke sent rapper Tupac Shakur, who was himself on trial for sexual assault, to Ms. Otis's table with a bottle of champagne. In mid-1995 Ms. Otis moved back in with Mr. Rourke. In her own words, Ms. Otis stated that "we are very, very happy."
