Hailey Bieber’s sister, Alaia Baldwin Aronow, faces prison time after prosecutors formally filed misdemeanor charges related to her 2024 arrest in Georgia.
Court documents filed Jan. 26 show Georgia prosecutors charged Aronow with four misdemeanors: simple battery, simple assault, battery and criminal trespass.
The charges stem from an incident that allegedly took place on Feb. 24, 2024, at Club Elan, where prosecutors say Aronow caused physical harm to multiple people and refused to leave the premises when asked.
According to the filing, Aronow is accused of intentionally striking a person identified as Jacinto Hills “in the [private area].”
Prosecutors further allege that she initiated a [inappropriate object] on another individual, an act they described as simple assault.
The documents also state that Aronow allegedly pulled hair from the scalp of a person named Ian O’Neill during the confrontation.
The incident allegedly occurred inside Club Elan, where staff members said Aronow refused to leave the premises despite instructions he was given.
Although the case saw little progress for more than a year, an arraignment is now scheduled for April 23. Records suggest Aronow may have already participated in a diversion program before the trial, although the newly filed charges moved the case forward.
Aronow, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and Kennya Baldwin, was arrested the night of the incident.
According to a police report, the bar owner contacted law enforcement after reporting a woman was attacking staff and wouldn’t leave. When officers arrived, employees identified Aronow as the person involved.
Staff members told police the situation escalated after Aronow was told she couldn’t use the employee restroom.
According to the bartender’s account, Aronow said she needed time “to change it.”[personal object]” and was briefly allowed to stay. When the bartender returned later, she claimed Aronow “removed her [personal object] and I threw it’ at her.
Security footage was cited in the police report, which stated: “Aronow can be seen fighting and resisting all the way outside. The video clearly shows Ms. Aronow grabbing and pulling Mr. O’Neill’s hair and her punching Mr. Hills.”
The report adds: “It was at this point that security intervened and removed the woman from the club. »
Aronow reportedly told police she was acting in self-defense and claimed she was “forcibly removed from the club.”
According to the report, she initially denied throwing anything, but then admitted she had.
When asked about pulling the hair and hitting one of the alleged victims, police wrote that she “attempted to justify her action by stating that she was defending herself.”
With the charges now officially filed, Aronow could face penalties of up to prison time if convicted. The case is expected to continue later this year as she prepares to appear in court for her arraignment.
