TMZ reported that Deidrick had allegedly told authorities he got into a fight with his girlfriend when he thought she was recording him with her phone and lashed out, allegedly grabbing the phone from her. His girlfriend confirmed to police that the couple had fought, but denied that she had been recording him.
Deidrick also allegedly told authorities his girlfriend put her hands around his neck, per TMZ, but authorities claimed to have found no evidence of that.
It was also reported that Deidrick’s girlfriend had informed police she had allegedly cowered in a corner while they fought when Deidrick ripped the phone out of her hands. Deidrick’s girlfriend claimed to have called 911 after the actor gave her her phone back.
A daily booking list labeled for Thursday, January 30 to Sunday, February 2, from where Diedrick was held at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office does not include his name.
