The law can be very sketchy.... he didn't need to actually attack anyone with a weapon while an assault occurred, he just needed to be holding something that could be considered deadly while the incident took place... devils advocate example - They're having dinner, he's got a knife.. his phone goes off and she sees a text from one of his booty calls and goes off smacking the shit out of him like she had admitted to have done before (and got arrested for doing to her husband in Vermont)... he pushes her away while holding said knife, and maybe she even broke an arm or hand or something in a fall (Hypothetically, of course) ... she calls 911 because she's hurt and now EMS has to get the police involved... Styx could actually be relatively innocent in regards to this incident aside from being a fucking retard and getting involved with this psycho chick again in the first place.
