Actress Amber Heard, who claims she is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of estranged husband Johnny Depp, was reportedly arrested on the same charge in 2009.
Heard and former girlfriend Tasya Van Ree got into an argument on September 14, 2009, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She reportedly grabbed Van Ree’s arm and was arrested and booked for misdemeanour and domestic violence.
Her mugshot was taken and she appeared in court the following day.
However, the prosecutor declined to take the case further but warned Heard that she could reconsider and refile within the two-year statute of limitation period.
Heard is currently suing Depp for divorce claiming, amid other things, that he was violent towards her and threw his iPhone at her, injuring her face.
It was previously revealed that Heard considered herself married to Van Ree before she tied the knot with Depp.
