As reported, an arrest warrant was issued for the fallen star for a crime alleged to have taken place in 2004. Said act follows a slew of allegations from women (many famous) claiming The Cosby Show patriarch had attacked them.

Aiming to avoid a showdown with police, the actor surrendered to police and was arraigned this afternoon. Bail was set at $1,000,000 and he was forced to surrender his passport. No plea was entered.
