Griffith was arrested after Delray Beach, Fla. police responded to a disturbance call placed by Griffith's brother-in-law, according to TMZ. The reality star's relative placed the call after Griffith allegedly told him over the phone that he had "lost it," choked a woman and dragged her up the stairs.
