Daniel Baldwin's wife Joanne Smith was reportedly arrested shortly after news came out that Daniel has filed for divorce.

Joanne Baldwin, 41, was arrested Wednesday night for violating her parole on a drunken driving conviction. She has been jailed and isn't expected to be released until a hearing Wednesday.

Before the alleged arrest, Daniel announced that he has filed for divorce from his wife of four years. According to the 50-year-old actor, he has made his decision due to recent events in their home and for his own safety and the children.

The actor known for his role as Detective Beau Felton in the popular NBC TV series Homicide: Life on the Street added, he knows how difficult Joanne's situation is since he has had problems with drugs and alcohol before.

He filed for divorce a day after being granted a restraining order against his wife.

The couple has two daughters, Avis Ann and Finley Rae Martineau and Daniel got temporary custody of both.

Daniel claimed that Joanne threatened him a couple of times in front of their children.
