Don Cornelius was the host of "Soul Train" from 1970 to 1993.
Police were called to his Hollywood Hills home late Friday after someone reported a domestic dispute, Officer Sam Park said.
The 72-year-old producer was taken to jail, where he was booked for investigation of felony domestic violence, Park said. He was released on $50,000 bail and ordered to appear in court next month.
Park said he did not know whom Cornelius was suspected of assaulting.
A call to Cornelius' production office was not immediately returned.
Cornelius started "Soul Train" in 1970 to showcase black music and culture, introducing television audiences to such legendary artists as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Barry White. The series spawned a franchise that includes the Soul Train Music Awards, the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and the Soul Train Christmas Starfest.
Cornelius stepped down as "Soul Train" host in 1993

That man is too old to be trying to hit someone. :mad:

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!!

With him being 72 years old, I wouldn't even consider him a threat (at least not enough to call the Po-Po).

LOL he is old. They don't know who he hit? I find that hard to believe! Then he gets to go home and continue beating whoever he was beating in the first place. So sad.

That is just a damn shame.
