Luis Miguel arrested, released, on warrant from civil case
LOS ANGELES — Authorities say Mexican singer Luis Miguel was arrested by U.S. marshals on Tuesday and released on bond hours later in a case involving a dispute in which he has been ordered to pay more than $1 million to his former manager.
The singer, whose full name is Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri, surrendered Tuesday morning and later appeared before a federal judge in Los Angeles who had held him in contempt for failing to appear at court hearings, said Deputy US Marshal Matthew Cordova.
The five-time Grammy winner does not have an attorney listed in the court case and his record label declined comment.
He was released from custody Tuesday afternoon after posting bond, Cordova said. The amount of the bond was not immediately known.
