Avenatti arrested on domestic violence charge in L.A. today

Joe Tacopino reports in the New York Post that creepy porn lawyer Michael Avanetti was reportedly arrested today for domestic violence in L.A.

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer and fierce President Trump critic Michael Avenatti was busted in Los Angeles for allegedly attacking a woman at an apartment complex and leaving her face “swollen and bruised.”

Avenatti was taken into custody Wednesday on suspicion of domestic violence for the incident, which took place a day earlier, according to the LAPD.

The victim was not identified, but she is not his estranged wife, Lisa Storie-Avenatti.

When the LAPD first responded to the call on Wednesday, Avenatti could be heard saying “She hit me first, This is bulls–t,” according to TMZ, which first reported the story.

The victim ran out of the apartment building wearing sunglasses and saying on the phone, “I can’t believe you did this to me,” according to the site. “I’m going to get a restraining order against you.”

A source told the website the domestic incident began on Tuesday when Avenatti “kicked her out of the apartment.”

The LAPD confirmed the arrest on Wednesday night but stressed that the investigation has not concluded.

“Detectives arrested Michael Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement on Twitter. “This is an ongoing investigation and we will provide more details as they become available.”

Avenatti released a statement Wednesday night calling the allegations “completely bogus.”
