Jared Padalecki has broken his silence following his arrest at the end of October.
The Supernatural actor was arrested on October 27 and charged with two counts of assault and one count of public intoxication after it was alleged that he struck two people at a bar in Austin, TX.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Padalecki said, “I want to sincerely thank my family and friends for all of your love and support.”
He then admitted he was sad for missing this weekend’s Supernatural convention in Washington, D.C., before concluding, “I hope to see y’all soon.”
