Crystal Hunt Arrested After 'Bar Room Showdown', Says She Was Defending Herself

Actress Crystal Hunt was arrested Friday night in Los Angeles after she allegedly broke a glass over a girls face during a heated bar room showdown, TMZ is reporting.

According to TMZ, Hunt got into an argument with another woman at Pearl's Liquor Bar in West Hollywood around 12:30 a.m., and allegedly threw a pint glass at the victim's face. The woman required medical attention afterward but the extent of her injuries are unclear.

Hunt was arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon and released the next morning when she made bail. Her lawyer Shepard Kopp told TMZ she was not drinking at the time and claims the woman was threatening her before the altercation. Hunt also claims she tried having the woman removed by security multiple times but they failed to do so. The woman continued to be aggressive with her and she was only acting in self defense.

Hunt starred as Lizzie Spaulding in GUIDING LIGHT and Stacy Morasco on ONE LIFE TO LIVE.
