Chad Johnson (formerly Chad Ochocinco) was arrested last night for domestic violence. The alleged victim was his wife, Basketball Wives’ Evelyn Lozada.
The NFL star is accused of head-butting Lozada during an argument.
Police arrived at the scene to find her with lacerations on her forehead; Lozada went to the hospital for treatment. Crazy. So what started the incident?
According to TMZ, the fight started over condoms in Chad’s car. Seriously.
Evelyn Lozada apparently found a receipt for them (not sure which brand or what size) in the couple’s Maserati and confronted him about it.
An argument broke out and Chad head-butted Evelyn. The football star reportedly told the cops he butted heads with his wife by accident.
Johnson was in custody in Davie, Fla., as of 8:45 p.m. last night and will have to go before a judge before he can be released on bond.
It’s possible he could be there until tomorrow morning. Stay tuned.
Lozada married Chad Ochocinco – who changed his named back to Johnson so his wife wouldn’t have to take the name Ochocinco – on July 4.
For what it’s worth, the couple briefly called off their wedding earlier this year, allegedly amid rumors of his cheating, before reconciling.
UPDATE: Johnson has been released from jail – and released by the Miami Dolphins, who cut the star 24 hours after this story broke.
