When Felicity Huffman opened the door to her Los Angeles home at 6 a.m. Tuesday, she was met by FBI agents with their guns drawn, according a source familiar with the incident.
The agents informed her of the charges in a sweeping college admissions fraud case and handcuffed her, the source said. Huffman spent hours in federal custody at a detention center in downtown Los Angeles.
On Tuesday afternoon, Huffman made a brief court appearance. She answered yes to several question from the federal magistrate, including whether she understood the charges against her. She was seated in a glassed-off area with several other defendants. Her husband, actor William H. Macy, sat in court as the magistrate ordered her free on $250,000 bail.
She is expected to appear in a Boston courtroom on March 9 to address the charges.

(7,939 posts)Taking cover behind a vehicle, Pittsburgh police detective Carla Kearns thought she could save FBI agent Samuel Hicks.
They were outside a home in Indiana Township that morning in 2008, trying to serve a drug warrant, when Agent Hicks the first through the door behind a battering ram was shot by someone inside.
The 33-year-old FBI agent was bleeding profusely, unconscious, with no pulse and no respiration. But Detective Kearns, a former paramedic, hung onto hope as she performed CPR if she could just get him to a hospital.
She rode in the ambulance and followed Agent Hicks into the emergency room, where a medical team waited. There, the team discovered the bullet had severed Agent Hicks aorta. He was gone.
