Gray refused to leave his home when police arrived, but was arrested after SWAT and crisis negotiators responded, police said.
Gray, who played Hakeem Lyon on the Chicago-based television show, was detained in Chicago in 2019 after authorities said a temporary plaque did not match the 2014 Rolls-Royce he was driving. He was arrested on one count of misdemeanor registration and fined.
