Hollywood actress turned Fox News contributor, Stacey Dash, 52, was arrested for domestic violence in Florida this past weekend. Dash, her husband Jeffrey Marty, and his three underage kids, got into a heated argument. During the course of the argument, one of Marty's kids violated Dash's personal space by "getting in her face." Dash pushed the teenager. This led to Marty putting Dash in a chokehold.

A startled and shaken Dash called 911 to report the incident and branded his children "awful" and "unruly." However, when police arrived, they saw scratches on her husband's arms and decided to take her into custody. Dash stated there were red marks on her neck from being choked by Marty.

As Dash has not worked since 2016, she filed for indigent status in seeking a public defender attorney to represent her in the criminal case, which is her first arrest. Dash's husband has stated to the court that he does not wish to press charges against her over the incident.

Dash should have walked away when her stepdaughter violated her personal space. She should not have pushed her during the argument. Marty should not have placed Dash in a chokehold. He too should have been arrested over the incident. It would have cost him his law license if the case went all the way to trial and his  alleged acts were proven. This is Dash's fourth marriage and she has been a victim of domestic violence in one of her previous marriages.
