Dennis Rodman And Wife Carmen Electra Arrested In Miami
- response to reported domestic violence - Brief Article
Both
Dennis Rodman and his wife Carmen Electra recently were
arrested in Miami Beach on charges of domestic violence.
Miami Beach Detective Al Boza told JET that police
officers were summoned to a hotel in the trendy South
Beach area of Miami Beach when guests complained of loud
noises.
Rodman told officers that after partying at local clubs
he returned to the hotel and went to sleep only to wake
up when Electra (whose real name is Tara Patrick) poked
him with a rose stem and punched him.
The arrest record indicated that Electra told officers
that they were watching television when Rodman became
"agitated" when he saw a former boyfriend of hers on
MTV. "You -- whore, get the -- out of here. Go with
Fred," he reportedly told her. She further alleged that
he grabbed her and threw her on the bedroom floor,
yelling and screaming at her. He then threw her outside
the room on the concrete walkway, she said in the
report.
She re-entered the room and, according to the report,
began punching him about the body and yelled "How could
you do this to me?" "Both began to wrestle on the bed,"
the report said.
When she fled to another room, Rodman reportedly
followed and threw her purse at her.
Boza said "the injuries were extremely minor. There was
a minor scratch on her lip." Rodman's shirt was torn.
Both were arrested. "Officers have no latitude since it
was a domestic violence call," Boza said. "It doesn't
matter if the parties are married or not or are of the
same sex."
