Bobbi Kristina Brown's Ex, Nick Gordon, Arrested For Domestic Battery

Gordon, who was found responsible for Brown's 2015 death, is accused of attacking his current girlfriend.

Nick Gordon , the former boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown , has been arrested on domestic violence charges following an altercation involving his current girlfriend, police said.

The 28-year-old, who was found legally responsible for Brown’s 2015 death, was taken into custody Saturday on charges of battery and false imprisonment, police in Sanford, Florida, announced .

His girlfriend reportedly told police that Gordon beat her and refused to allow her to leave their shared home after a late-night argument, TMZ reported, citing local  authorities.

Responding officers located Gordon at a clubhouse near his home where he was taken into custody, the police department said in a release.

It’s just the latest legal trouble to hit Gordon, who last year was ordered to pay $36 million to the Brown family estate  following a wrongful death lawsuit.

That order followed Gordon being found legally responsible for Brown’s death , though he was never criminally charged.

Brown, who was the 22-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, died after being found unconscious in a bathtub at a home shared with Gordon.

Her family has said her death followed an altercation with Gordon, who is accused of placing her in the tub and injecting her with a “toxic cocktail” of drugs .

In a disturbing twist, Brown’s mother was similarly found unconscious in a bathtub before her death five years ago.

Gordon is being held on $15,500 bond, according to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
