    “Actress Alexandra Paul, best known for her role as Lt. Stephanie Holden on “Baywatch,” was arrested in Wisconsin on Sunday.

    Paul was allegedly caught on camera participating in an animal rights sting to free beagles from controversial Blue Mounds breeding facility Ridglan Farms, according to a news release obtained by [Page Six.](https://pagesix.com/2026/03/17/celebrity-news/baywatch-actress-arrested-again-for-freeing-beagles-during-animal-rights-protest/)

    Paul, 62, and 50-60 other activists allegedly “broke into the facility and began removing numerous dogs” from the farm, which is one of only two large dog breeders in the country that conduct scientific research on dogs, the outlet reported.

    Two vehicles, along with burglary tools and other evidence, were seized at the scene, according to Page Six.

    Local law enforcement told the outlet that some beagles were “recovered and returned” to Ridglan Farms, while other dogs “remain unaccounted for.”

    Paul was arrested with around 19 others.

    Authorities said in the release that everyone involved was “cooperative and respectful.”

    “The Dane County Sheriff’s Office understands how deeply people feel for the beagles at Ridglan Farms, and we respect their right to express that passion through peaceful protests,” Sheriff Kalvin Barrett told Page Six.

    “Our role is to keep everyone safe and to respond when unlawful activity takes place. We encourage anyone with concerns about animal welfare or research practices to engage through lawful and constructive avenues.”

    Following an animal welfare investigation, the Ridglan Farms facility will surrender its Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATC) breeding license by July 1, according to the release….”
