‘Baywatch’ actress arrested — again — for freeing beagles during animal rights protest

She’s in the jailhouse doghouse.

Former actress Alexandra Paul was arrested — again — on Sunday for trespassing at a farm to free several animals.

According to a press release, Dane County Sheriff’s deputies and other police from nearby precincts in Wisconsin “responded to Ridglan Farms in the town of Blue Mounds when 50-60 protestors entered the property without permission.”

The “Baywatch” alum, along with other activists, allegedly “broke into the facility and began removing numerous dogs” from the farm, which is one of only two large dog breeders in the country that offer experimentation for scientific research.

Two vehicles, along with burglary tools and other evidence, were seized at the scene, the press release said, adding that some beagles were “recovered and returned” to Ridglan Farms, while other dogs “remain unaccounted for.”

Paul, 62, and about 19 others were arrested, though authorities said everyone involved was “cooperative and respectful.”

“The Dane County Sheriff’s Office understands how deeply people feel for the beagles at Ridglan Farms, and we respect their right to express that passion through peaceful protests,” said Sheriff Kalvin Barrett.

“Our role is to keep everyone safe and to respond when unlawful activity takes place. We encourage anyone with concerns about animal welfare or research practices to engage through lawful and constructive avenues,” Barrett added.

“The Sheriff’s Office remains committed to maintaining public safety, promoting peaceful dialogue, and ensuring that all parties can exercise their rights within the bounds of the law.”

The press release also stated that following an animal welfare investigation, the Ridglan Farms facility will surrender its Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATC) breeding license by July 1.

Paul, best known for her role as Lt. Stephanie Holden on “Baywatch,” has had several run-ins with the law due to her animal activism.

In 2017, the “Christine” actress was arrested after she joined a sit-in at an Oakland, Calif., slaughterhouse. The following year, Paul was arrested for a civil disobedience action at Sunrise Chicken Farm.

In 2019, the “8 Million Ways to Die” star was arrested for peacefully protesting at Reichardt Duck Farm in Petaluma, Calif., and she spent two days in a local jail.

In September 2020, Paul and six other activists tried to rescue a pig from a Farmer John slaughterhouse in Vernon, Calif., and were arrested.

Paul’s most recent run-in with the law occurred in 2023, when she went to court for rescuing a chicken from a Foster Farms slaughterhouse truck. However, the actress was acquitted after a nine-day trial.

Paul’s love for animals began when she was a teen. She became a vegetarian at 14 years old and then a vegan later in life. She also stopped wearing leather, wool, silk and fur.

In a former interview, Paul revealed that she wrote in her acting contracts that she would not wear makeup that was “tested on animals.”
