Details of the attack
TMZ reports that the police were informed of an incident involving Majors and his girlfriend. The altercation began when they were travelling home, after she noticed another woman was exchanging texts with him and attempted to peek into his phone. This made her boyfriend become enraged, causing him to grab her hand before slapping her in the face. Furthermore, according to witnesses, he also put both hands around her neck during this assault.
On Saturday morning, according to reports, the woman was left in an unknown location while Majors went somewhere else. Shortly after that, a crime report was lodged and soon followed by an arrest warrant which accused him of strangulation and assault.
The source added that the alleged victim was suffering from visible injuries, including a laceration behind her ear and redness and marks on her face. She was taken to a hospital in the area and is in stable condition. As for Majors, he was arrested and immediately taken to prison.
