Majors was arrested on Saturday after police were called to an apartment over a domestic dispute, in which a 30-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted by the actor.
Police said that the woman, who has not been named, was taken to hospital with minor head and neck injuries.
The woman alleged that Majors had slapped her and put his hand on her neck, and that she had been injured and experienced “substantial pain.”
Majors was let out of police custody shortly after his arrest, and his lawyers have denied any wrongdoing, casting the 33-year-old actor as being the true victim of the altercation.
His lawyers also claim to have video footage of the incident that would support their account, along with witnesses who can back the actor up.
They also said that the woman, who was known to Majors, has recanted her allegations, and that they expect the charges against the actor will be dropped.
