The District Attorney in Beverly Hills decided not to prosecute Francesca Eastwood, daughter of legendary actor Clint Eastwood, on charges of felony domestic violence, sources told TMZ.
Sources said Eastwood will not face prosecution in relation to an incident involving her boyfriend that dates back to mid-October, according to TMZ. The 31-year-old actress was arrested after she allegedly had a physical altercation with her boyfriend while driving in Beverly Hills. Sources close to the situation said Eastwood’s boyfriend called for police assistance, and they suggested that he drive to the police station. Police allegedly observed physical injuries on Eastwood’s boyfriend’s body during their discussions with the couple and proceeded to arrest the famous actress, according to TMZ.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the District Attorney made the decision not to try the case in October. They claimed insufficient evidence was the reason the case was not tried. The insider said Eastwood’s boyfriend declined medical assistance while speaking with officers at the police station and would not work with law enforcement.
Eastwood was released on $50,000 bail, according to TMZ.
