Aron Ralston, author and subject of the film "127 Hours," attends the film's premiere at Chelsea Clearview Cinema in New York on November 2, 2010.
Update 4:30 p.m. ET: The domestic violence case against Ralston has been dismissed “at the request of the city attorney,” per the AP.
The hiker who cut off his own arm after a boulder pinned him in a Utah canyon and inspired the movie 127 Hours was arrested in Denver on domestic violence charges Sunday.
Aron Ralston, who was played by James Franco in the film adaptation of his book, was booked on charges of assault and wrongs to minors, the Associated Press reports. The booking documents do not indicate whether Ralston has an attorney, and he’s scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Ralston was canoyneering in 2003 when he was trapped by a boulder and had to cut off his own arm with a multi-tool to survive after over five days in the wilderness.
