Erik Huffman — known from ‘Survivor’ — has been arrested for domestic violence, reportedly involving his former co-star and now his wife, Jaime Dugan.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, authorities were called to a convenience store in Spartanburg, SC in late January where they found Erik, who informed them he was trying to locate his spouse, Jaime.
Police reported that Erik expressed concern about Jaime who had driven off in their car after an argument involving accusations of infidelity, specifically Jaime accusing Erik of having an affair. The police documented Erik’s admission of a physical altercation over his phone.
Jaime informed the police that Erik’s concern was to ensure her safety and well-being, counter to his claim that she mentioned self-harm intentions.
However, when the police caught up with Jaime later, she contradicted Erik’s story and alleged he had been physically aggressive towards her.
Jaime disputed Erik’s claim about her self-harm intentions and denounced it as untrue.
She informed the authorities that she found Erik’s secret phone in the car, but he forcibly took it resulting in an injury to her hand. Jaime claimed he broke her nail and caused minor cuts.
Jaime explained that she drove away feeling unsafe while Erik was inside the store, contradicting Erik’s version of events.
Following their investigation, the police determined Erik as the primary instigator and arrested him on a third-degree domestic violence charge later that day. He was captured in a mug shot during the booking process.
Erik and Jaime’s relationship began during the filming of “Survivor: China” in 2007. They got engaged and married in 2009 and have a son together named Harper.
