Michael Jace was taken into custody around 1 a.m. Tuesday, and Los Angeles Police Detective Lyman Doster

TMZ reported that it took Child Protective Services four hours to arrive at the station, around 4 a.m., and take the two children — who are both under 10 years old — to the home of a family member.
In addition to playing Christian LAPD officer Julien Lowe on "The Shield", Jace's resume also included appearances on shows like "Southland" and "The Mentalist." He also had a minor role as a Black Panther member in the movie "Forrest Gump."
