Clueless star Stacey Dash was arrested on a domestic battery charge after allegedly slapping a man in the face.
According to a complaint affidavit obtained by The Independent, the alleged incident happened on Sunday, 29 September around 7:45pm in the city of New Port Richey, Florida.
Dash played Dionne Davenport in the 1995 romantic comedy and was a Fox News contributor from 2014 to 2017.
She allegedly became involved in a “verbal argument” with a man then “pushed the victim and slapped him in the face”, the document states.
“The victim sustained red scratch marks to his left upper arm from being pushed,” the affidavit adds.
Dash was then taken into custody for alleged domestic battery.
TMZ reported that a source close to the actor said that she had allegedly acted in self-defence.
The Independent has contacted Dash’s representation for more information.
