| Dascha Polanco is best known for playing the character Dayanara "Daya" Diaz on Orange Is the New Black |
The OITNB star was arrested in July for allegedly punching, scratching and pulling the hair of 17-year-old, Michelle Cardona, reports Page Six.
Dascha had to show up to court on Thursday, which was also her 33rd birthday. Damn.
"Though the events of July 29 are unclear, police sources say that Polanco invited Cardona to her apartment in Upper Manhattan over text. Court documents show that Cardona told police Polanco assaulted her in Polanco's apartment.
"Ms. Cardona observed the defendant strike Ms. Cardona about the face and head with a closed fist at least three times, pull Ms. Cardona's hair, and strike Ms. Cardona's arms with the defendant's hands and nails," it said in the court papers. The actress was arrested that day."
The teenager was hospitalized after suffering "bruising and redness to her face, scratches to her arms and substantial pain," police said.
"It's a setup to try to get money and it was tape-recorded," Dascha's lawyer said. "This young woman was trying to extort her to drop the case. We're confident the charges will be dismissed."
