Detroit Free Press reported LeDuff's attorney, Todd Perkins, stating,

"This is a man that loves his family."

Perkins further stated that he and his client are trying their level best to keep the issue out of the public eye, as much as possible. Pleasant Ridge Interim Police Chief Robert Ried told the news station that cops were called to the house on Monday, at about 9.30 pm local time. The caller mentioned that Charlie LeDuff had allegedly assaulted someone, but the victim's identity was concealed.

Law enforcement officials arrived and immediately arrested LeDuff from the house. He was booked into the Berkley police station, where he spent the night, before being released upon posting a bond, the very next day. According to attorney Perkins, Amy and Leduff have been married for 31 years. While he requested that LeDuff should be allowed to live in the shared house, if Amy was fine with it, the judge denied it.
