The above video from WFSB details the incident between Jerry Lawler and his fiancee Lauryn McBride that led to Lawler being arrested on domestic violence charges.
In the video it explains that Lawler’s side of the story says that Lauryn had lied to him about where she had been. He claims that she then scratched him in the face, threw a candle at him and then kicked him in the groin. He also claims that she was drunk and threatening to kill herself.
Lauryn claims that Lawler held her against the kitchen counter, hit her in the head, pushed her against the stove and then put an unloaded gun on the table and told her to kill herself. Both are claiming that the other brought the weapon in to the situation.
Both were arrested when police were unable to determine who had started the problem. They were then booked in Shelby County Jail around 1 am. Both are due in court today.
