The Bachelor Alum Amanda Stanton Arrested for Alleged Domestic Violence Against Boyfriend
Amanda Stanton was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with domestic violence, PEOPLE confirms.
The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise alum was in Las Vegas, Nevada, over the weekend for a friend’s bachelorette party when the alleged incident occurred. At approximately 3:15 a.m. on Monday, police responded to a battery domestic violence call at a hotel located on the 3100 block of S. Las Vegas Blvd., according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
A physical altercation took place in a hotel room where it is alleged that the reality star battered her boyfriend, Bobby Jacobs, according to authorities.
Hotel security was notified, police were called and over the course of the investigation, it was found that there was probable cause to arrest Stanton on one count of battery domestic violence, according to police.
Stanton, 28, was then transported to Clark County Detention Center, where she was booked.
She was reportedly released on Monday, according to TMZ, which first reported the news.
The outlet also reported that Stanton and friends were allegedly partying at The Encore at a co-ed celebration when security went to the room following a noise complaint.
Jacobs was speaking with the security guard when Stanton, who was allegedly intoxicated, attempted to intervene and shoved Jacobs, according to TMZ.
PEOPLE is out to Stanton for comment.
