The actress, 35, who has appeared in Chicago Fire, was arrested on Friday, Feb. 13, by the Burbank Police Department, PEOPLE confirmed. According to the arrest log, Curran was arrested for allegedly being "drunk in public" and charged with disorderly conduct.
Curran was not held on bail and was released from police custody the same day.

On Monday, Feb. 16, the Chicago Fire alum was posting on her Instagram Stories seemingly as usual, though she did not reference the arrest. In two posts, she shared videos of the pet rat she shares with composer James Ingram.
Curran got engaged to Ingram, a music producer, in Paris in 2020, in what she told PEOPLE at the time was a dream come true moment.
“I just instantly knew, and I was like, ‘Yes!’ He then reached into his pocket, got on his knee, pulled out a Tiffany box, and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ I was so excited," she said at the time.

Curran is next slated to star in a new romance movie, The Heart Brake, alongside Joey Lawrence and Beverly D'Angelo. In a May Instagram post, Curran wrote that she was "over the moon" to be cast in the film.
"Can not wait to Buffalo Bill myself into Julia Winters and bring this wonderful character to life this summer in Tennessee with this fantastic group of people," she wrote. "Gratitude is just pouring out of me right now."
According to IMDb, the film is in post-production.
