The Ridges, Weston (ZIP 33331) — The tranquil South Florida suburb of Weston has been jolted by an unexpected celebrity controversy as Cuban-American actor and heartthrob William Levy has officially been accepted into a misdemeanor diversion program following his recent arrest. The case, which initially stirred confusion and concern across the community, is now taking a more tempered turn as court officials confirmed Levy’s eligibility for the program earlier this week.

Levy, known for his starring roles in Spanish-language telenovelas and Hollywood projects like Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, was detained last month in Weston over what authorities labeled as a minor domestic disturbance. The incident reportedly occurred near his upscale home, prompting immediate police response and media frenzy. However, after an initial review and character assessment, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office has agreed to offer Levy participation in a diversion program, typically reserved for first-time, non-violent offenders.

This alternative legal path allows defendants to avoid formal conviction in exchange for meeting specific behavioral, educational, and service-based requirements. Upon successful completion, charges can be dismissed entirely. Legal experts suggest this outcome is not uncommon in Florida’s criminal justice system, but the celebrity factor has made this case particularly high-profile.

Local reaction remains divided, with some praising the system’s fairness and others questioning whether Levy received preferential treatment. The spotlight now shifts to how Levy handles this second chance—and how the Weston community moves forward in its aftermath.
