Former junior lightweight titleholder Jamel Herring was arrested Tuesday in Ohio on two charges, including violation of a protective order.

Herring was booked at 4:01 p.m. into Warren County Jail and charged with violating the terms of a protective order and his probation.

Jennifer Herring, Jamel’s wife, filed a temporary protective order against her husband after an alleged domestic incident involving the Herrings led to the fighter being arrested January 9.

According to the police report of that incident, Jennifer Herring accused her husband of “viciously” attacking and choking her in their home. Jennifer Herring dropped the charges over that incident in February.

Jamel Herring’s attorney, Clyde Bennett, then released a statement to TMZ stating that there had been “insufficient evidence to prove that he committed any crime against his wife” and the “investigation demonstrated her claim against Mr. Herring [was] false."

In January, however, Jennifer Herring had filed for and was granted a permanent restraining order, according to Warren County court records. Because that replaced the temporary order against her husband, Jamel Herring was forbidden contact with his wife.

Jamel Herring is currently awaiting arraignment and will receive his next court date on Thursday, March 20.
