Delay in 'Home Alone' actor Devin Ratray's domestic assault trial due to hospitalization

The trial for a domestic assault and strangulation case involving Home Alone actor Devin Ratray has been delayed, again.

Ratray's attorneys spoke with the judge overseeing the case and the district attorney's office on Wednesday. The lawyers said Ratray was currently hospitalized out of state.

Ratray's trial was expected to begin on Monday.

Ratray's trial has been delayed indefinitely. Ratray will instead have a pre-trial hearing on February 21st.

Court records note his lawyers are still negotiating with the DA's office for a possible plea deal.

Ratray, famous for portraying Buzz McAllister in the 'Home Alone' franchise, is accused of getting into an altercation with his girlfriend in December 2021 while he was in Oklahoma City for an appearance at the Oklahoma Pop Christmas Con.

According to court documents, Ratray and his girlfriend went to Mickey Mantle's Steakhouse on Dec. 8, 2021. His girlfriend told police that Ratray drank a "bottle of wine," had "several shots of alcohol" and was "intoxicated," a probable cause affidavit reads.

Later that night, the two walked to the Coyote Ugly Saloon. According to the affidavit, Ratray had 10 shots of alcohol while his girlfriend didn't drink anything else. While there, two women approached him and asked for his autograph. Ratray's girlfriend had two signed cards inside her purse and gave them away to the fans.

At that point, the affidavit said Ratray became angry and verbally argued with his girlfriend because she had given his autograph away without charging for it.

After getting to a nearby Hyatt hotel, the two continued to argue inside their room. According to the affidavit, Ratray pushed his girlfriend onto a bed, used one hand to press it against her throat and the other was placed over her mouth with pressure applied. The affidavit also alleges he punched her in the face.

Ratray's attorney says the allegations against him are not true.
