Love was taken into custody by the LAPD Saturday night on suspicion of domestic violence after police were called to his Los Angeles home for a disturbance.
The call came in around noon, according to TMZ, and police met with the actor’s girlfriend who told them Love had “pushed her in the back of the head” during an argument.
She claimed the fight started after she stopped by Love’s house to pick up some things. The outlet added that the victim was “uninjured and there were no visible marks.”
According to online records, he was booked for “misdemeanor domestic violence” around 2:30pm and later released after posting bail at 10pm.
