This is not the first time something like this has happened to Jenn Harley, and it could have an effect on the outcome of this case. She was previously arrested for throwing an ashtray at the 'Jersey Shore' star. According to reports, a fight between the two stars escalated after Harley's house was "ransacked" and several of her personal items were vandalized, including a broken television, vase, and glass frames. Ronnie was named as a person of interest in the case. But, despite the altercation, the couple reunited to attend a baby shower together for their 1-year-old daughter, Ariana Sky.
