Well, was she or wasn't she?

In Plain Sight actress Nichole Hiltz was reportedly arrested and booked on suspicion of child neglect last night, only...no law-enforcement agency has any record of it.

Which kinda makes sense, considering Hiltz's rep is calling the whole thing "a confusing misunderstanding."

Manager Jean Renard told E! News that Hiltz was briefly in custody after being picked up Tuesday at her West Hollywood apartment, but that "there was nothing related to the child."

"Her child is fine," Renard continued. "The child is back at home and Ms. Hiltz has been fully released with no charges filed. It was a confusing misunderstanding."

They're telling us!

TMZ had reported that officers were responding to a call about a disturbance at Hiltz's home early Tuesday and ended up arresting her and placing her child, a minor, into protective custody.

When contacted by E! News, neither the LAPD nor West Hollywood Sheriff's Station had a record of the event.

And if Hiltz's pseudo-bust really was just a misunderstanding, they probably won't be getting one.
