The son of Roc-a-Fella co-founder Dame Dash was arrested this past Tuesday night in NYC for choking his girlfriend.
Damon Dash II, 22, was charged with misdemeanor assault and strangulation for allegedly squeezing his girlfriend’s neck as they argued on Sept. 22 in his West 16th Street apartment.
According to the The New York Post
“They had an apparent dispute over sex,” a law enforcement source told The Post of Dash-the-younger and his girlfriend.
“She was visiting him at his apartment, he got violent with her, starts to punch her, slap her and shove her onto the bed, got on top of her, he grabs her by the throat and chokes her,” the source said.
They briefly reconciled but then had another fight, at which point the victim called the cops, the source said.
Dash climbed on top of her and “placed both of [his] hands around [her] neck and squeezed tightly,” to the point where she had trouble breathing, according to the misdemeanor complaint against him.
At his arraignment on Wednesday, Dash signed an order of protection barring him from any contact with his alleged victim. He was released without bail.
“He did get physically violent with her,” the source added. “She suffered bruises, a black eye and a cut lip.” Her neck was left with red marks, the complaint alleges.

Hugh Douglas, a former All-Pro defensive end in the NFL find himself on the police blotter once again.
Douglas has been arrested and charged with assault after allegedly choking his girlfriend during an altercation early Sunday at a hotel in Hartford, Conn.
Hartford police say Douglas, who had a 10-year career with the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, has denied grabbing his girlfriend by the neck and carrying her down a hallway to their room as she alleges.
Douglas, 42, was fired by ESPN last month following an incident at an Orlando nightclub where he allegedly called his Numbers Never Lie co-host Michael Smith a “house n—–“ and an “Uncle Tom.”

Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom has been silent since news broke that he was suffering from a drug addiction. He could only hold his tongue for so long. And with his father coming out recently and blaming Khloe Kardashian for his sons drugs use, Lamar decided to let the world know what’s really going on in his mind.
Odom took to twitter and said:
“Won’t continue 2 speak on this but I have got 2 let this out real quick. I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of shit. He wasn’t there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me. For the first time since they left, came a blessing of a FAMILY that I married into. FAMILY. That man wasn’t even invited to my wedding. He has never met my mother in law and some of my other family. How can a man who has NOT once called me to check on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own “son”. He is my downfall! His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me. He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this! This goes to out to everyone!
Lets hope that Lamar can get his mind together and get back to playing the game he loves.
