The son of actors Virginia Madsen and Antonio Sabato Jr. is behind bars in Alaska. Jack Sabato was arrested in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a man dead.

His mother is an Oscar nominee. His father is known for his years on "General Hospital."

The charges

Officials at the Anchorage Correctional Complex say Jack was taken into custody Monday. He faces two counts. One is fleeing the scene of a crash that caused injury or death. The other is driving away without helping a person who was hurt.

He was still being held and had a court appearance set for Tuesday.

What police found

According to reports, Anchorage officers were called early Monday about a man who was not responding. He was dead when they arrived.

Investigators believe a driver hit him and then took off. Police later found a Chevrolet Tahoe they think was involved. Jack was then arrested in connection with the crash.

His father speaks

Antonio shared a short statement about the arrest. "We all just found out the terrible news and our family is digesting this horrible news and asking for privacy in this devastating news. Thank you."

He says he has not been able to talk with his son yet.
