Multiple outlets report that the 51-year-old winner was taken into custody on charges including strangulation and assault, following an argument with a woman earlier this week, with reports describing the incident as occurring Sunday morning.

Details about the dispute and the woman’s condition were not consistently provided across the reports. Both outlets characterize the case as involving allegations of throttling/strangling and assault during a domestic argument. The reports do not indicate a conviction, and the man is described in connection with alleged conduct pending the outcome of the legal process. Authorities have not been presented in the provided text as giving additional specifics beyond the charging allegations and the timing of the arrest.
