According to TMZ, when police arrived at the residence, Columbus told them his wife punched him in the face.
When police spoke with Aida, they noticed she had a minor injury and arrested Columbus for felony domestic assault.
Columbus took to Instagram to address the arrest directly with a video statement.
The caption on the video read:
The Truth
Marriages are challenging but getting through it is the blessing!
I AM not an abusive man nor am I on drugs but drinking alcohol makes my mouth get a little out of pocket. That’s the truth. My wife and I are working on our marriage. The real work w/ @callmemrsshort #MyApologies #LEVITATING2022 ???????????? ????????
In the video, Columbus explained that he and his wife had a disagreement and he asked her to leave.
At some point, he tried to grabbed her phone out of her hand accidentally scratched her.
When the police arrived they “had to make a decision” on who to arrest and when they saw the scratch on Aida, they arrested Columbus.
