Baldwin files for divorce

Actor Daniel Baldwin has been granted a restraining order against his wife and filed for divorce, claiming she punched him, threatened him with a knife in front of their children and made threats of violence and death “too numerous to list”.

The 50-year-old said his wife woke the couple’s children, aged one and three, at their Oregon home by screaming and throwing objects while drunk.

Joanne Baldwin was arrested last night for violating her parole on a drink-driving conviction.

The police chief in Lake Oswego, the wealthy suburb where the couple have lived since 2010, said she is not expected to be released from jail until a hearing next Wednesday.

The couple married in July 2007.
