The unidentified woman, whose connection to Underwood is unknown, had visible marks on her body, but did not require medical attention, police said. The actor was arrested on felony domestic battery charges; he was later booked and released after approximately 10 hours in custody.
A rep for Underwood did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
