Roiland pleaded not guilty in 2020 one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit.
The alleged incident happened around Jan. 19, 2020. The woman, identified in court papers only as Jane Doe, was reportedly dating Roiland at the time.
His attorney stated that they expect the case to be dismissed.
