“Dog” The Bounty Hunter, aka Duane Chapman, a world renowned bounty hunter and reality TV star, who took down the likes of Max Factor, has taken to twitter, announcing that he is on the hunt for former MMA star, War Machine. War Machine, who legally changed his name from Jon Koppenhaver, currently has a warrant for his arrest, issued by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, stemming from an alleged attack on his former girlfriend, porn star Christy Mack in her Las Vegas home.
Christy Mack, alleged that last Friday around 2am, War Machine arrived at her home unannounced, while Mack and an unnamed male friend were hanging out. According to Mack, at this point War Machine became violent, and attacked the friend and removed him from the home. According to Mack, War Machine then turned his rage on her, “He made me undress and shower in front of him, then dragged me out and beat my face.” She further claims, that he grabbed a knife, and placed it against her, and used it to cut some of her hair. Mack claims she eventually escaped through a back door, and was let into a neighbor’s home, where the police were called.
War Machine, took to twitter to dispute these allegations Sunday night, “I’m not a bad guy, I went to surprise my gf, help her set up her show and to give her an engagement ring and ended up fighting for my life. The cops will never give me fair play, never believe me. Still deciding what to do but at the end of the day it’s all just heart breaking. I only wish that man hadn’t been there and that Christy &I would behappily(sic) engaged. I don’t know y I’m so cursed. On day truth will come out.”
Currently, the arrest warrant has yet to be made public, but based on the allegations, War Machine is likely facing a plethora of charges. Including but not limited to, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, battery domestic violence causing substantial bodily harm, and kidnapping. The kidnapping charge, would stem from the allegation that he forced her to remain in the home against her will. Once War Machine is brought into custody, whether it be by Dog The Bounty Hunter, or any number of police agencies looking for him, the legal process will begin.
