Its’s been revealed that Surfer Blood singer John Paul Pitts was arrested for alleged domestic battery back in March.

Detained at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office on 31 March, Pitts pleaded not guilty on 4 May before gaining a “plea and pass” agreement last month.

Public documents have now come to light regarding the events, with the official incident report reading as follows:

The victim stated on today’s date, Pitts and herself returned from an evening out. An argument pursued because she called a friend, stating she might need a place to stay. Pitts went into the bathroom and stated he was going to harm himself. When she knocked on the door, Pitts came out, they went into the bedroom, and the arguing continued. The victim stated Pitts grabbed her and flipped her over her shoulder, he then pinned her down by climbing on top of her. The defendant then proceeded to shove his fingers inside of her mouth. In return, she attempted to bite him and he pushed his fingers away. He continued to press his weight against her so she bit him on his chest. The victim stated this has occurred before. She told Pitts on numerous occasions she was going to call the police, but he just laughed. Advised she is not trying to ruin his life.

Charges will be dismissed in April 2013 if Pitts abides by the mandatory court program.
