Amid split with husband Patrick Carne, Michelle Branch arrested on charges of domestic violence. Here’s what happened

Singer, songwriter and guitarist, Michelle Branch, has been arrested after she slapped her husband Patrick Carne. The arrest came soon after Michelle announced her separation from husband Patrick Carney after three years of marriage.
Michelle was released early for breastfeeding her infant on a bail of $1000. Michelle, 39, and Patrick, 42, have two children, son James, 4, and daughter Willie, born earlier this year.
Michelle Branch was arrested for domestic violence charges after she allegedly assaulted her estranged husband, Patrick Carne. The police arrested the “Everywhere” singer from her home in Nashville on Thursday night around 2 am.



The court documents indicate her admitting to slapping her husband once or twice in the facial area. However, Patrick did not have any visible marks or injuries due to the assault. Therefore, her arrest was “without incident."
Michelle was released on Thursday on a bail of $1,000. Although the original court order specified her to be held for 12 hours, she had an early release due to her breastfeeding infant, as per the court document. She has a hearing scheduled on November 7, 2022, to face the charge of domestic violence by offensive and provocative conduct.
The arrest came after she announced divorce after three years of marriage. While Michelle has asked for privacy and kindness in her official statement, which reflects a professional tone, in an earlier Twitter statement, since deleted, she has accused Carney, 42, of cheating on her while nursing her six-month-old baby at home.
Branch was previously married to Teddy Landau from 2004 to 20015. She married Patrick in 2019.
