The LAPD spokesperson said its investigation “remains ongoing” and declined to share further information to “protect the integrity of the investigation.”
Olsen and Salazar are known by hundreds of thousands of followers online for documenting their relationship. Earlier this year, they shared videos from the hospital together when they welcomed their son.
Since Salazar’s arrest, Olsen has continued to update her social media accounts, and she has publicly addressed his detainment.
On her Snapchat account, Olsen shared a video of what appeared to be Santos’s arrest on Thursday, where a man could be seen getting handcuffed and walked out of a residence by officers. She wrote in overlaid text, “I’m so sorry guys….”
“I’ve been talking to lawyers all day,” she told her followers in another update later that day. “Hopefully Santos can come home around Monday when he sees the judge.”
