It’s unclear whether Ross’ arrest stems from the accusations made by Kendrick or from another lady.

Per TMZ, citing sources, the woman told police that Ross questioned her about lying to him and then slapped her in the face. He later accused her of being involved in a relationship, she said, and “every time she denied it, he struck her.”

The woman gave police photos of her alleged injuries, per the report.

Bond was set at $5,000 on the battery by strangulation charge and $1,000 on the battery charge, for a total of $6,000.
