Shocking news has emerged about former Days of Our Lives star Casey Deidrick, who was arrested over the weekend in Tennessee. The actor, best known for portraying Chad DiMera from 2009 to 2013, found himself in legal trouble following an alleged domestic incident that unfolded in the early hours of Sunday morning.
According to reports, Deidrick was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault and interference with an emergency call. Authorities revealed that he and his girlfriend got into a heated argument, during which Deidrick suspected that she was recording him on her phone. This led to him allegedly grabbing the device from her, escalating the situation further.
During questioning, Deidrick claimed that his girlfriend had put her hands around his neck, but police officers noted that there were no visible signs of injury on him. Meanwhile, his girlfriend provided her own account of the altercation, stating that Deidrick eventually returned her phone—but only after she agreed to move out later that day.
Following the incident, Deidrick was booked at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and later released after posting a $2,500 bond. The arrest has left fans in shock, as Deidrick was once a beloved star of Days of Our Lives, where he originated the role of Chad DiMera before Billy Flynn took over in 2014.
Beyond his soap opera fame, Deidrick has built a diverse acting career, with roles in popular TV shows such as Glee, Teen Wolf, Revolution, In the Dark, and Eye Candy. He has also made a name for himself in the world of Hallmark movies, starring in feel-good films like A Very Merry Bridesmaid and Wedding Season. Looking ahead, Deidrick was set to appear in two upcoming films, Portal to Hell and The Iron Door, both slated for release in 2025.
However, his legal troubles could cast a shadow over his career. It remains unclear how these charges will impact his future in the entertainment industry, and whether studios and networks will distance themselves from the actor amid the controversy. Fans who have followed his career since Days of Our Lives will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
