Daniel Ray Leonard Arrested in West Los Angeles Restraining Order Case
daniel ray leonard was taken into police custody early Wednesday morning in Los Angeles after officers responded to a restraining order call at a private residence in West Los Angeles. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said the arrest happened shortly before 5:30 a.m. on May 20, 2026.
Officers assigned to the West Los Angeles Area responded at around 5:29 a.m. to the 1500 block of Amalfi Drive for a radio call of a restraining order violation. The spokesperson said officers arrived and took the suspect into custody for being in violation of his restraining order.
West Los Angeles Police Response
Leonard is the son of boxing icon Sugar Ray Leonard. Court records in Los Angeles County indicated that Sugar Ray Leonard recently requested a restraining order against his son, and the arrest came after police were called to the property where the family connection made the case more specific than a routine custody arrest.
TMZ reported that the 25-year-old attempted to enter his father’s home by turning exterior door handles, and responding officers reportedly found him near the property’s pool house. Those details were not included in the police spokesperson’s statement, but they match the broader police response described in the call to Amalfi Drive.
Sugar Ray Leonard Court Records
Sugar Ray Leonard has four children, including Daniel, Camille, Ray Charles Jr. and Jarrel, and shares them with his ex-wife, Juanita. He also has a grandson named Devin Leonard. In November 2023, he posted, “So happy to be with my son Daniel this weekend!” and “I am so proud of you!!! Happy Birthday!!!”
The hearing is scheduled for June 15, giving the case a near-term court date after the arrest. Authorities have not confirmed whether the restraining order tied to the court records was directly connected to Wednesday’s custody decision, leaving the next filing and hearing to shape the case from here.
