According to police, officers arrived to find Jefferson being held with her arms behind her back by the victim in the incident.
The victim told police that Jefferson, who he did not know, approached him suddenly “in a very close proximity” and tried to place something in his hand, according to an arrest report.
Police said the victim did not take the item and tried to ignore Jefferson, who allegedly became upset and poked the victim in the face.
It was after that physical contact that the victim grabbed Jefferson’s arms and held them behind her back until police could arrive, per an arrest form.
During their investigation, police said they viewed surveillance footage that showed the incident, which corroborated the victim’s account of what happened.
Jefferson, who previously appeared on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was arrested on a battery charge and taken to jail without incident.
