Per the warrant, Deidrick told cops he got into a heated argument with his girlfriend in their Nashville home Sunday morning after he got pissed because he believed she was recording him with her phone, so he grabbed it from her.
He also claimed his girlfriend wrapped her hands around his neck, but officers say they found no evidence of that.
His girlfriend told cops the two got into a squabble … but she denied recording him. She also told police she cowered in a corner of the kitchen with her phone.
She said Deidrick then came up behind her and placed her in a bear hug, ripping her phone out of her hand.
She said she demanded her phone back so she could call 911 because she feared for her safety … and Deidrick eventually gave it back to her after she promised to move out of the house that day.
As for Deidrick’s Hollywood career … he’s been in some major TV shows. In addition to “Days of Our Lives,” Deidrick has appeared in “Glee,” “Revolution,” “In The Dark,” MTV’s “Teen Wolf” and “Eye Candy.”
We reached out to Deidrick’s reps … they declined to comment.
