An arrest warrant has been issued for UFC flyweight Andrea Lee’s husband.

Lee’s husband, Donald Aaron, has now officially been charged for involvement in a domestic violence case. The 43-year-old reportedly choked Lee at their home in Shreveport, Lousiana. He also threatened to put a cigarette out on her arm, amongst other things.

Friend and teammate of Lee’s, Andy Nguyen, spoke on the matter. Aaron is being charged with domestic battery abuse and one count of false imprisonment. This incident makes headlines after Donald had already been heavily criticized in the media after being pictured with Nazi tattoos on his body.

After the story made the rounds, both Lee and Donald defended his decision not to have them removed or covered up. Donald has also had issues with the law in the past. In 2009 he was found guilty of negligent homicide in the death of Ronald Jamison.

Donald shot Jamison several times near his home. He has also seen jail time for assaulting his ex-wife’s fiance.

The Shreveport Police Department released this statement (via MMA Fighting):

“Shreveport Police have procured a warrant for a man in connection with an early May domestic incident.

“On May 5, 2018, Shreveport Police received reports of a domestic abuse battery that occurred in the 4200 block of Wildwood Drive. Arriving officers learned that 43-year-old Donald Aaron, of the 4200 block of Wildwood Drive, allegedly battered the victim causing minor injury. Officers interviewed witnesses and the victim and collected physical evidence.

Women’s flyweight Andrea Lee refuses to discuss an alleged domestic violence incident involving her husband.

Shreveport, Louisiana police are awaiting a judge’s signature for an affidavit that will allow them to proceed with an arrest warrant for Donny Aaron.

Aaron is the husband of UFC flyweight Andrea Lee. The warrant will give authorities permission to visit Aaron’s home and investigate a report of domestic violence against Lee. Shreveport PD spokesperson Angie Willhite said obtaining the judge’s signature could take up to a week.

She told MMA Junkie the following:

“We always encourage people turn themselves in if they know they are wanted in connection with a crime,” Willhite said.

“I don’t know this gentleman. I don’t know his character, and I don’t know if he’s the type of person who would do that. But I think there’s certainly enough information out there that we’re looking for him.”

Aaron is being accused of domestic violence/battery and false imprisonment against Lee, whom he has been married to for five years. A report that has been released to the public revealed the alleged incident came on August 4th and into August 5th.

Lee declined to comment on the incident when asked by MMA Junkie. Lee claimed she won’t let it affect her career in the UFC, however:

“I’m not going to talk about it right now,” she said. “I’m trying to move forward with things for my family. It’s not going to affect my UFC career.”

Lee’s friend and fellow MMA fighter, Andy Nguyen, called police after Aaron allegedly tried to burn Lee with a cigarette and choke her. The witness statement was obtained by MyMMANews.com.

Willhite claims the Shreveport police did not release the statement and did not confirm or deny its authenticity. Nguyen also trains at Aaron’s Karate Mafia gym and reportedly lived with the couple during the alleged incident. Aaron, who was heavily intoxicated, accused Lee of cheating on him.

Aaron’s father tried to restrain him and another housemate refused to intervene, saying “This happens all the time.” Nguyen also claims Aaron has been abusing Lee for years.

Lee is touted as one of the top rising contenders in the newly-created women’s flyweight division.
