Jodie Sweetin’s Ex-Fiance Justin Hodak Arrested for Third Time in Nine Days for Violating Restraining Order
Jodie Sweetin continues to find herself in a frightening and difficult situation with her ex-fiancé, Justin Hodak. It has been the third time that he has been arrested for violating the Restraining Order!
The Restraining Order
Jodie Sweetin‘s ex-fiancé Justin Hodak was arrested on Monday, March 27. It was for violating a restraining order the Fuller House actress took out against him, Us Weekly confirms. The arrest is Hodak’s third in nine days.
The Fuller House star had got a temporary restraining order against Hodak who was told to stay back 100 yards away. The court documents state:
Hodak was said to have “engaged in violent arguments with Sweetin, in which he threw objects at her, following a prior break-up with Sweetin, he came to the Warner Bros. He also waited for Sweetin to confront her at her children’s school.”
In the documents, the actress received extra protection for her two children — daughters Beatrix Coyle, 6, and Zoie Herpin, 8 — her mother, Janice Sweetin, 67, and her father, Sam Sweetin, 82, and her assistant, Lauren Hussey, 29.
The third Arrest
Hodak, 40, was first arrested on Saturday, March 18, when Jodie Sweetin, 35, called relevant authorities after he allegedly threatened to die by suicide. The Los Angeles Police Department told Entertainment Tonight.
“During the course of the investigation, [Hodak] was found to possess a firearm,” “He is a prior felon, and a prior felon may not possess firearms.”
Jodie claimed police arrived at her home on March 18, 2017, when Hodak “said he was going to take a 9-millimeter pistol with him and use it to kill himself.”
Sweetin claimed in the legal documents that Hodak had recently begun using steroids and testosterone supplements “which made his temper worse” and that on the night of their argument he had been also “abusing alcohol and marijuana.”
The actress signed the papers on Thursday — a day before a rep for the actress announced that the couple has split after a year-long engagement.
On Friday, March 24, police arrested Hodak again when he allegedly violated an emergency protective order stemming from the first arrest. The LAPD told the outlet that he
“came back over to the residence which he was restrained from, and officers made contact, and he was arrested for violating a court order.”
History of their Relationship
The same day, Sweetin and Hodak announced they had called it quits on their relationship. Sweetin’s rep told ET at the time that the actress
“appreciates everyone’s understanding for their need for privacy at this time.”
The former couple got engaged in January 2016 after two years of dating. The marriage would have been the Full House alum’s fourth. She previously married to Shaun Holguin from 2002 to 2006, Cody Herpin from 2007 to 2010, and Morty Coyle from 2012 to 2015. She shares daughter Zoie, 8, with Herpin and daughter Beatrix, 6, with Coyle.
