LAPD sources said Mariotti allegedly got into an argument with his girlfriend at a club in Santa Monica, and they were observed exchanging harsh words just before getting in a car to leave. Mariotti got angry after he believed his girlfriend had been flirting with another man, police sources said.

The argument continued at the couple's apartment near Venice where Mariotti allegedly pushed and shoved the woman. During the altercation, Mariotti grabbed her arm, leaving marks, the sources said.

Police were called to the apartment and found his girlfriend, who has not been identified, with cuts and bruises.

Mariotti was held at the 77th Street station before being released midday Saturday.

Newsflash, guy who appears to be a douche on tv, turns out to be a douche!

He has a girlfriend? I thought he was gay.

He was on ESPN radio with Jalen Rose all last week, guess that was enough to piss him off.

Hitting a woman is about as low as it gets.

77th Street Station? Good heavens, that's South-Central ... maybe the most embattled of all LAPD Divisions.

Where tf does Mariotti live?

BroncoBuff · 08-22-2010, 07:53 PM

Says he lives in Venice, but Venice lies within the Pacific Division ... 77th is ten miles away.

I couldn't stand the guy to begin with, and now, my hunches are confirmed, he's an asshat.
