From SportsNet CA:
UFC light-heavyweight fighter Tito (The Huntington Beach Bad Boy) Ortiz has been arrested on felony domestic violence charges after an incident involving his girlfriend Jenna Jameson, according to reports.
TMZ.com first reported that police were called to the residence of the couple, who are not married but have two twin boys together, Monday morning to investigate a disturbance. Ortiz was arrested and taken from their Huntington Beach home to a jail in Orange County, Calif., the website said.
Ortiz, a former UFC champion, is one of the two coaches on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show along with longtime rival Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell. TUF 11, which features middleweights in the same house on separate teams vying for a title, finished taping last month and has nine more episodes to air.Lt. Mike Reynolds of the Huntington Beach Police Department told MMAjunkie.com Ortiz was being held and was "cooperating with the investigation." While Reynolds did not confirm Jameson, a former adult film star, was the victim in the alleged assault, TMZ.com has footage of her fighting back tears as she drove with her father, who made the initial 911 call.
"I really can't talk about it right now," Jameson said. "Of course (I'm pressing charges). My babies are alright, everything's okay. He's in jail."
Fox News reported Monday night that court records show Ortiz was jailed previously in 1998 after he pled guilty to charges of "battery with serious bodily injury." He was sentenced to 29 days in jail and also received three years' probation and had to complete 232 hours of community service.
