Ratray allegedly assaulted his girlfriend on Dec. 8 during an argument in their hotel room at the Hyatt Place Oklahoma City. Ratray’s girlfriend claimed that he was angry she had not charged two women for his autograph, according to an affidavit filed by Detective Joseph Burnett of the Oklahoma City Police Department.
“[The] victim had trouble breathing while she was being strangled and while the defendant’s hand was over her mouth,” Burnett wrote in his report.
“Mr. Ratray denies he ever laid a hand on her or did anything in regards to anything like that,” said Oklahoma attorney, Scott Adams, who is representing Ratray.
Ratray played Buzz McAllister, the older brother of Macaulay Culkin’s character, Kevin McCallister, in “Home Alone”, and “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York”. Ratray recently reprised his role in “Home Sweet Home Alone” released on Nov. 12.
