VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) -- Tonya Harding tussled in her home with a man she described as her boyfriend, prompting an emergency call by the figure skater-turned-boxer and an arrest of the man.

Christopher Nolan was charged with assault and pleaded not guilty Monday. He told deputies Harding threw him down and bit his finger when he said she had too much to drink on Sunday. The 27-year-old Nolan was ordered to stay away from Harding and to avoid alcohol.

No kidding. I was wondering whether they tipped over the double-wide while fighting over the last pack of Marlboros after the Jack Daniels ran out.

Man arrested after tussle with Tonya Harding

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A 27-year-old man has been charged with assault after a tussle with figure skater-turned-boxer Tonya Harding.

Christopher Nolan told deputies she threw him to the gravel and bit his finger when he said she had had too much to drink. Nolan pleaded not guilty Monday in Clark County District Court and was released on his own recognizance.

Harding told deputies the scrap was in the kitchen of the house they shared, not the driveway and that it was a cat, not she, who scratched Nolan's finger.

Initially Harding, 34, called 9-1-1 and said she was attacked by two masked men who came to her home and assaulted her before she could escape.

Nolan was ordered to stay away from Harding and to avoid alcohol.

Nolan described the two as roommates. She said he was her boyfriend.

In another report, they said the neighbors saw Harding exit the home when police arrived, wearing what appeared to be a viking costume, and paint on her face.

The only way she could do a triple axle today is driving a big rig.

"Initially Harding, 34, called 9-1-1 and said she was attacked by two masked men who came to her home and assaulted her before she could escape."

And the Cops still took her word over the guy's at the scene in what is basically a he said/she said situation? Lying on a 911 call would seem to me to kill one's credibility a bit.

he said she had too much to drink .........

Geez, I hope this doesn't have a negative impact on the next Batman movie.

Ba-dump-bump!

Too much of a Drama Queen for me to pay attention to. I live right here in the same town with her and so far, haven't run into her. If I did, sorry, I can't see me becoming impressed.

Does Chris still have his kneecaps?
