She told officers that when Bosworth arrived he started arguing, grabbed her by the hair and tried to pull her into a car. She then said Bosworth was hitting her when a man approached them in the parking lot and said they were being recorded on the security camera of the store.

According to the affidavit, Baird said she was eventually able to escape Bosworth and ran inside FYC. She said he followed her inside and punched her in the left side of her stomach then drove away.

While officers interviewed Baird, another officer stopped Bosworth and took him into custody.

Bosworth is in custody for felony domestic assault and battery against a pregnant woman resulting in a miscarriage of an unborn child.
