HOLLYWOOD - Anne Hathaway's boyfriend Raffaelo Follieri has been arrested and charged with trying to pass a bad check, reportedly for around $250,000.
New York police spokesman Detective Martin Speechley confirms officers picked up and charged Follieri on Thursday, while TMZ.com reports the Italian property developer bounced a check worth $250,000.
The Web site claims Follieri has since been released from custody and is working with police to sort out what he claims is a misunderstanding.
Last year, U.S. supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle sued Follieri for allegedly squandering $1.3 million of his business money to support his lavish lifestyle. Follieri denied the accusation.
