The pair started arguing again nearly six hours later when she tried to go to bed, but it escalated, the report said.
He allegedly grabbed her shirt and assaulted her. He grabbed her by the throat and began to strangle her until she slapped him to get away, the affidavit claims.
The physical altercation then moved to the living room where Fischer reportedly threw her over the couch.
She fell onto her back and he allegedly hit her on the chest and police said they found several small drops of blood behind the seat cushions.
Fischer’s girlfriend got up and called 911 and he reportedly tried to stop her by taking the phone away.
She was eventually able to leave the house and the police arrived shortly afterwards.
Officers said Fischer was “completely naked with a blank expression on his face” as he stood with a “circular swing.”
He had a “strong smell of an alcoholic drink” and was “unsteady on his feet when we walked him to the patrol vehicle,” police said.
It comes after Fischer was sued in 2021 by his ex-girlfriend over claims that he shared and even sent nude photos of her to her mother during a custody dispute.
In the lawsuit filed in Oklahoma County District Court, Amanda Brown said she dated Fischer from 2019 to 2020, claiming it was tumultuous because of his “dangerous tendency to abuse alcohol.”
