Donny Aaron, the estranged husband of UFC women’s flyweight Andrea Lee, was finally jailed following allegations of domestic violence.

It came to light in August that Aaron was charged with domestic violence/battery and false imprisonment. He allegedly tried to burn Lee with a cigarette as well as choke her during an argument.

An arrest warrant was put out by the Shreveport (La.) Police Department, but Aaron was nowhere to be found. Police even speculated he had taken refuge in a local mixed martial arts gym.

However, nine months on, Aaron was finally booked into the Shreveport City Jail on Wednesday. According to MMA Junkie, though, he bonded out the very same day. There are no other details available as of now about the arrest.

Since the initial incident, Lee has asked for privacy on the matter and has since returned to action.

She defeated Ashlee Evans-Smith via unanimous decision at UFC Phoenix earlier this year. “KGB” is currently on a six-fight winning streak, having last suffered defeat in March 2016.

Police believe they know where Andrea Lee’s fugitive husband Donny Aaron has been hiding. At a mixed martial arts gym of all places.

The 42-year-old Aaron was charged with several felonies last month. Including domestic violence/battery and false imprisonment stemming from an incident with Lee last month. Aaron was also accused of choking and burning her with cigarettes before Lee managed to fight him off.

After receiving a number of tips from the MMA community, police have reason to believe that Aaron may be held up at an MMA gym. Shreveport (La.) police spokesperson Angie Willhite warned that anyone harboring a fugitive can be charged with a crime.

“I don’t know if people understand there are consequences to that,” Willhite told MMA Junkie. “If they’re intentionally harboring this man, that’s against the law. You can’t do that, and I would certainly hope that wouldn’t be the case.”

Initially, police believed Aaron to be hiding in Georgia. The Shreveport spokesperson Willhite explained that the local authorities have been made aware of Aaron’s fugitive status, however, she is unsure if his warrants are extraditable.

In the meantime, the authorities ask that if you have any information that could help lead to the arrest of Aaron to please call the agency’s anonymous tip line.

“You can’t run from this forever,” Willhite said. “We’re going to find him eventually.”

UFC Flyweight Andrea Lee was recently the victim of some alleged domestic violence charges.

Her husband Donny Aaron was charged with one count of domestic battery abuse and one count of false imprisonment by the Shreveport (La.) Police Department on Monday.

Lee and Aaron have a daughter together and have been married for almost five years.

Lee’s Statement

Lee released a statement on Wednesday (Aug 22, 2018). In it, she expressed the need for privacy for her and her family.

“My family and I are handling the situation to the best of our ability, as this is a very sensitive issue and one that as a public figure I wish was not taking place in a public forum,” Lee wrote. “I respectfully ask that everyone respects our privacy at this time as we work towards resolutions and closure.”

Warrant Issued for Aaron

Aaron has not been taken into custody as of this writing. However, there is a warrant issued for his arrest stemming from the domestic violence attack on Lee. Aaron is believed to be in the state of Georgia.

Female fighter Andy Nguyen lived with Lee and Aaron in Shreveport and thus has knowledge of the incident. She later told officers that Aaron had tried to burn Lee’s arm with a cigarette. Then tried to choke her.

“He was trying to choke her, but she was defending herself well,” Nguyen’s statement read. “She didn’t get beat up bad. The police did take pictures of marks on her neck. Wasn’t bad this time. No black eyes or anything but he has hit her before. I just wasn’t there. He was my coach and my friend. This was the first time this was in [my] presence and I was not going to let this fly.”

“The domestic violence has been going on for years. I just never saw it.”

Lee concluded her public statement with some positive vibes.

“I look forward to returning to the Octagon and resuming my winning ways in the near future,” Lee said. “Competing has always been a sanctuary for me and brings great joy to my life.”

Aaron is innocent until proven guilty under United States law. But it doesn’t look good for the ex-cop and former Muay Thai champion who has quite the extensive rap sheet that includes a negligent homicide and spousal battery.

Domestic Violence Warrant Forthcoming For Andrea Lee’s Husband

Some big trouble could be coming for Andrea Lee’s husband.

The post Domestic Violence Warrant Forthcoming For Andrea Lee’s Husband appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

UFC fighter Andrea Lee’s husband is in trouble again – and this time it’s much more serious.

Donny Aaron will face an arrest warrant on charges of false imprisonment and domestic violence battery. The incident allegedly happened late on August 4 and into August 5. The warrant was first confirmed by MyMMANews.com.

The Shreveport PD confirmed the “forthcoming” warrant to MMA Fighting. Spokesperson Cpl. Angie Willhite said the warrant would soon be issued today. The police incident report clarified that officers responded to a domestic incident involving two people who have been legally married with one child. Photographs of the incident were taken in order to chronicle the alleged attack.

The alleged incident resulted in Lee reportedly suffering an injury. The attack also allegedly involved a weapon.

MMA fighter Andy Nguyen lives with Aaron and Lee and was concerned because of a pattern of abuse. She issued a statement online detailing her experience. Nguyen confirmed she called the police after witnessing the incident. Aaron allegedly tried to choke Lee and burn her arm with a cigarette. Lee allegedly tried to escape into their daughter’s room after that. Nguyen said that Aaron’s father attempted to intervene.

She described a scene where Aaron was allegedly violent due to drugs:

“I opened up the door and was like ‘Donny, leave her alone. He looked like he was lost. He hadn’t slept in two days, he was drinking for two ******* days straight. I don’t know what he is on.

“I’m backing up as he is coming towards me. Andrea was buttoning up her shorts and she was barefoot and ran out the back door.”

New Incident

Nguyen went on to detail her surprise at the incident. She also described the extent of Lee’s injuries

Violence had been going on for years, she said, but she had never seen it:

“He was trying to choke her, but she was defending herself well. She didn’t get beat up bad. The police did take pictures of marks on her neck. Wasn’t bad this time. No black eyes or anything but he has hit her before. I just wasn’t there. He was my coach and my friend. This was the first time this was in [my] presence and I was not going to let this fly.

“The domestic violence has been going on for years. I just never saw it. I didn’t call the cops until it got physical and I couldn’t do nothing anymore,”

Nguyen said she couldn’t lose another friend to domestic violence on social media:

The Controversy Rages On

Aaron previously came under fire for his controversial tattoos involving Nazi symbols earlier this year. Lee was quick to vehemently defend her husband, but this is a bad look because of the alleged violence. He apologized profusely on social media yet refused to get his offensive tattoos covered or removed nonetheless.

Aaron is a multi-time offender who has spent time in prison. He was found guilty in 2009 of negligent homicide with a firearm after shooting a man, Ronald Jamison, and killing him. Aaron was arrested on a battery charge after allegedly another man while awaiting trial for the negligent homicide in 2007. Aaron was arrested for possession of drugs this February.

Lee is a promising young contender in the UFC women’s flyweight division thanks to her dangerous striking. The former kickboxing champion made her UFC debut in Chile this May, defeating Veronica Macedo.
