Aaron Phypers has just been released on bail following his arrest for domestic violence.
The 53-year-old was arrested on domestic violence charges in a Los Angeles courtroom on Friday, amid his contentious divorce from Denise Richards.
Witnesses recounted Fox News that Phypers was heard yelling and arguing with sheriffs while on an escalator as they returned to court to retrieve his cell phone and belongings.
Hours later, he escaped from the Lost Hills sheriff’s station after posting hefty $200,000 bail.
In the meantime, TMZ reported that Richards’ ex-husband was seen with an ear-to-ear grin on his face after his release as he posed alongside a California slave girl.
Richards previously obtained a temporary restraining order against Phypers in July, after she claimed he once gave her a black eye during an argument.
At that time, Phypers had denied Richards’ allegations of abuse, and it was alleged that the American actress had injured herself while drinking.
Earlier this month, Richards, who was once married to TV star Charlie Sheen, said Phypers became violent with her on several occasions.
According to PEOPLE magazine, in gruesome testimony, Denise Richards told Los Angeles Superior Court that Aaron Phypers gave her “at least three concussions” during their relationship.
