AceShowbiz - Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has been released from police custody after posting a $100,000 bail bond, according to a report from TMZ. The 33-year-old former MTV star was spotted leaving prison in Van Nuys, California on Friday morning, October 4.
Before Ortiz-Magro's release, his girlfriend Jen Harley was seen leaving a Los Angeles Airbnb where she and the star were involved in an altercation that led to his arrest. She took their 18-month-old daughter Ariana Sky with her when she took off.
The former "Jersey Shore" star was charged with kidnapping after initially arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. He got into a fight with Harley, reportedly hitting and chasing her with a knife while holding their baby daughter. He then locked himself and the infant inside the house when police arrived.
"Suspect and victim were involved in some kind of physical altercation. When officers [were] on location, the suspect was uncooperative. Officers had to use a taser so there was minor use of force that occurred," an LAPD spokesperson said. "There was no further incident. A child at the location was not harmed."
Hours before the incident, the couple celebrated National Boyfriend Day together. "For National Boyfriend Day, I got some new bling," so she wrote on her Instagram Story.
They also looked lovey-dovey at a party in West Hollywood. "Honestly, even though everyone thinks we're toxic, she really does balance me out," the TV personality said of their relationship in a red-carpet interview with Us Weekly. "She really does keep me level because with her I have her and the baby, which is a family, which is what I want at the end of the day."
