SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- (AP via WPIX/Katherine Lam) -- Police say an actor known for his role in the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has been arrested in upstate New York after a fight with a girlfriend.
Saratoga Springs police Lt. Bob Jillson says Nicholas Brendon faces charges of robbery, obstruction of breathing and criminal mischief. Brendon played "Xander Harris" in the show.
