Former Baywatch star Alexandra Paul was arrested this weekend on charges of freeing dogs during an animal rights protest.
Paul, 62, rose to stardom on Baywatch in the role of tough-talking Lt. Stephanie Holden, which she held from 1992 to 1997. With endless appearances in other series, ranging from Melrose Place to Mad Men, Paul has been a staple of Hollywood for several decades. However, she has always been known for her activism, which has included everything from environmentalism to animal rights.
In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, we learned the actress was arrested on Sunday, March 15, in Blue Mounds, Wisc., after a group of 50 to 60 protestors allegedly trespassed onto a property called Ridglan Farms, one of only two large dog breeders in the U.S. that offer experimentation for scientific research.
On March 15, “some activists broke into the facility and began removing numerous dogs,” the Dane County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) said in a statement. While some beagles were recovered and returned to the facility, others were not.
Is Alexandra Paul an Animal Rights Advocate?
One look at Paul's social media page makes it clear that she's an animal lover. The actress is frequently working to find homes for adoptable dogs, whether it's working with shelters or just advocating for a neighborhood pup.

On her Instagram page, Paul noted that she was arrested back in 2003 while protesting the war in Iraq. She went on to spend 6 days in jail. Two weeks ago, she took to social media to post a throwback photo and share her thoughts on America's return to war.
"It feels surreal that 23 years later we are hearing the same rhetoric on why we have to go to war: the cruel regime, the terrible things the country has done to the United States... but bombing does not solve these problems, as we have learned from the 20-year war in Iraq and Afghanistan," Paul said. "Fighting does not change hearts and minds, it creates chaos and misery. We need to try harder and longer to negotiate. We need to empower people in other countries through organizing, educating and supporting to create the government they want. Call me naive, but this war in the Middle East fills me with dread."
