According to TMZ, Aaron was taken into custody by L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies immediately after the hearing.
During the proceedings, Aaron’s mother testified, claiming she once saw Denise throw a can opener at her son. She also denied that Aaron had ever abused or threatened Denise.
At this time, it remains unclear what charges Aaron was arrested on, or whether the arrest was directly connected to the restraining order case or to something that occurred during the court appearance.
Earlier this month, during a separate court hearing related to the temporary restraining order, Denise alleged that Aaron was abusive during their relationship, claiming he “almost killed” her “so many d–n times.”
