Chad Johnson, aka Chad Ochocinco, was arrested Saturday evening for domestic violence according to Davie, Fla., Police Department Capt. Dale Engle and the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Engle says that the Miami Dolphins wide receiver and his newlywed Basketball Wives bride Evelyn Lozada got into an argument when she reportedly found a receipt for a box of condoms.

Ochocinco supposedly head-butted his wife, according to Engle, but the two have differing versions of how the incident occurred: "She alleges he leaned over and head-butted her. He says she leaned towards him and that they butted heads."

However the altercation went down, Engle notes that, "Needless to say she has a good laceration on her forehead." 

The duo wed just last month in Miami in a lavish ceremony, complete with cameras, for Ev and Ocho, which is set to air on VH1 this September. Football star Ochocinco competed in ABC's Dancing With The Stars season 10.
