The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told Page Six that Nick is being held at Parker Centre Jail in Downtown Los Angeles on a $4 million bond.

As reported by the BBC, the LASD Inmate Information Center revealed he has been charged with a felony level crime after being arrested at 9.15pm local time on Sunday. He was charged at 5.04am on Monday.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” a loved one close to Rob and Michele told Variety. “We ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

Nick is one of four children of the Reiner family, which includes Tracey, Jake, and Romy Reiner. The 32-year-old was previously estranged from his family following a drug addiction during his teenage years.

“I mean, we did get into fights over things, but ultimately it forced us to make the film better. The whole process, for me, I can just speak for myself, it did make me understand him a lot more, and it did make me a better father, hopefully it did,” Rob responded.

He added: “I think the binding came not from the story itself but from the fact that we were working on a movie together.”
