Pedro Moreno, a Cuban actor known for his telenovela roles, was released from a Miami-Dade jail Thursday overnight after a judge found no probable cause for the strongarm robbery charge he was arrested on, stemming from a domestic dispute with his wife.
Moreno, 44, was taken into custody late Wednesday at the couple’s home in the 3800 block of SW 150th Ct. in Miami-Dade. He had been accused of forcibly taking his wife’s cellphone during an argument, prompting the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to charge him with strongarm robbery, a second-degree felony.
